Just to wave the flag around a bit more...I recently
received my VMS 7.2
distribution and have been installing VMS like a mad dog around here.
I've got
Great isn't it!
five systems running so far (two VAX4000-400s, a
4000-200, a 3300, and a
3100/80) and it's great. It includes LOTS of layered products (c, fortran,
pascal, basic, tcpip, decnet-plus, notes, etc) and is a breeze to install.
It does help if you can come up with a set of the actual DEC CD's though,
as a lot of the stuff in the Hobbyist licenses aren't on the Hobbyist CD's.
I managed to get a set for the Alpha (the VAX Hobbyist CD has everything I
needed).
Now the question is, do you have all those systems clustered?
BTW, nice set of VAXen, make the VAX side of my cluster look downright
pathetic!
There's no excuse for having these machines
powered off, folks...go get VMS
and fire 'em up!!
Agreed, VAXen should be running VMS :^)
