heh. you haven't tried hard enough :-)
I remember fooling around with sockets on a vax 780 running BSD4.2
(MORE BSD) and running a little program and hearing everyone yell
from their offices, "hey! what just
happened?"
that's when I first learned about kernel panics.
The Mt. Xinu guys told me "the only things that have really been tested
are the parts Joy needed". Makes sense. (Joy = Bill Joy)
Anyone have a source tape for Mt. Xinu MORE/BSD for vax?
[having said that, linux these days is extremely robust]
