I remember Coherent fondly from the pre Linux days. It was the first of the Unix-like OSes for the PC that I got working and it felt like it was designed for the x86 platform instead of bieing a quick, incomplete hack.

Still typing on the IBM Model M keyboard that I used back then, though... john _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
