Quoting Iggy Drougge <optimus(a)canit.se>se>:
I love NFS as much as the next guy but if you start adding stuff
like NFS, why not have vnodes (well, you better have!) and once
you have vnodes why not start supporting different file systems...
A bit much for a PDP :)
So choice is good. My current testing gateway to the internet is a
486-75MHz, 8/500MB with NetBSD-1.5 and Lucent WLAN card.
The basestation is somewhere within 1 km. I'm rambling, better stop.
To get back to classiccmp, I'm going to check out a pile of Altos
machines tomorrow, Altos 686 and other models. All had their hard
drives ripped out.

Tell that to the braindamaged ROM in my 380. Shame on you, HP!
In what way it's braindamaged ?
I've never suffered NAT, I just suffer a modem and high telephony
costs.
What I worry about is whether IPv6 will work on all my machines. Then
I
worry that IP numbers will be too long for me to remember.
Without getting into details it's an interesting experience trying
to get a netblock these days. Most likely you can lease a /32 for
kazillion bucks a month. RIPE isn't softening up with IPv6 however,
if you want a block of your own you need to be peering with three
other providers. Life's hard.

from 2.2BSD?
hmm, the gains aren't worth it ?
Aren't the advantages of NFS apparent?
