Unix is high price, but because of the free ones out there (Linux, *BSD, Minix ) a lot of commerical vendors are giving or selling their OS for free to dirty cheap. Sun, SCO, iBSD (they have probably changed do to the merger with FreeBSD (err Walcreek)) can (or atleast could) allow there OS's to be picked up for about $10-$40 a pop for not for profit, non-commerical educational usage only. Sure doesn't do anything if you have a bussiness, but if you are just a unix hobbiest, it is an amazing deal.
Actually Solaris in now $10-$40 bucks for home or business use. However, it still ain't that easy to use (well, I can't say that I've only had experience with FreeBSD and Linux, but...). That's why iMacs and Windows PCs still sell faster than something free/cheap. And even if it is, is that any reason to not just dislike, but utterly hate a man? C'mon people it isn't worth it! -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.
