don't forget about good old Netware, and it's two little offsprings - NWLite and NWDOS-7

Plan 9 is not Unix. If you think of it as Unix, you may become frustrated when something doesn't exist or when it works differently. If you think of it as Plan 9, however, you'll find that most of it works very smoothly, and that there are some truly neat ideas that make things much cleaner than you have seen before.

I guess you mean dtrace.
By curiosity, what did you hate that much in Solaris ?

And the intended meaning of this is...?

There are many different kinds of sports shoes in this world. Nike, ASICS, Adidas, you name it. Which ones are good ? You don't go to a forum and ask, which ones are good. You go down to your shoes store and try each one of them out. Some of them will not fit you at all, while some of them will. You have to find out for yourself and find one you like, and run with it.

Actually, Netware DOS 7 was not an offspring of Netware. It's a rebranding of DR-DOS after Netware bought Digital Research.

i had a interveiwing class with someone who sworn by vms (digital).

i used it in a course in college (c and assembly) -- i wasn't really impressed.

frenchn00b · 01-07-2008, 12:35 PM

I saw one friend using Zeta, on contrary, I was too really impressed.
It was faster than regular PC, and I am still wondering how they could with a damn old pc. I'd bet it is faster than linux.

Zeta, here is the liveCD : http://www.zeta-os.com/cms/custom/lcd/indexe.php

Could linux grab the source code of Zeta to make something so beautiful as Zeta ?
