- Does anyone else get this feeling? It seems to me that
- Solaris 2.1 and its marketing is more geared to the Office
- and not the Classroom. When I look at the Sys V based
- Solaris I shudder thinking about all the BSD-based
- third party pnd PD ackages I've got installed on our Sun
- machines. I *know* some will not port, at least not
- without some effort. Take CAP for example--that's a
- very BSD-based package. What are we supposed to do
- with this sort of software?
