The final paragraph was something like "Oh incidentally, > this machine runs UNIX too but it takes a guru to set it up". This You must have forgotten which magazine you were reading!! If it was Byte (and it was), then anything more complicated than setting up a MS-DOS, intel-based IBM or IBM-clone is _TOO_ complicated. They seem to think the "computer professionals" in this world base their life on MS-DOS. Sorry to disappoint them with the harsh reality--- REAL PEOPLE DO USE UNIX. If the 386i is similiar to the previous Suns, it will not take a guru to set it up. Just someone with common- sense and a little bit of Unix background. --oh, add patience. --Greg -- Greg Onufer GEnie: G.ONUFER University of the Pacific UUCP: -= Focus Semiconductor =- exodus@mfgfoc ...!sun!daver!mfgfoc!exodus (and postmaster/exodus@uop.edu) AT&T: 415-965-0604 USMAIL: #901 1929 Crisanto Ave, Mtn View, CA 94040
