Ron, at brl-tgr tells me:

Thank you Ron, for the truth. What WAS released by me until now was
a 4.2BSD version for the Power 6/32. It was never intended to even
approximate system 5. Sure system 5 people won't like it, because
it's a BSD stuff. But 4.2 fans sure do like it.
Let me state again that the system 5 version is released now, as
we sheduled, by end of June. It doesn't try to approximate a
4.2BSD (if someone was thinking about it), it's a straight system 5.
	Last, about people liking it, there are a lot of people who
like it. Especially the machine performance. Sorry you cannot get
some (did you realy ever try it seriously, or do you just base
all your knowlege on net.rumor?).
