Bah, it's a VAX, it should be running VMS. I
totally fail to understand
why, especially now that licenses are free for hobbyist use, anyone would
want to run UNIX on a VAX! A system like that should be part of a nice VMS
cluster!
Because to some of us VAX == UNIX ? I did my first UNIX port from a VAX780
running 4.x BSD to a DG machine. UCBVAX ran UNIX and all of the other Vaxen
I had access to ran UNIX. The "cool" people hacked UNIX on the VAX, the
"suits" used VMS and Datatrieve to print accounting records and such, what
fun was that?
