| Linux is a great system. I use it for many operations. I believe Mapper was tremendous, the answer to all problems | when Sperry developed it back in the 80's . Do you recall the name of the Operating System developed for DEC?


Which one?
VMS, Ultrix, one of the multitude of DOS's or RTOS's ???

Personally I like BSD unix for network operations.
