Reading the documentation uncovered some changes to the distribution approach. For one thing, the BSD version now uses standard UNIX host tables instead of the Aegis method using the "local.txt" file. Unfortunately, I use programs from both environments. For instance, /etc/ping (BSD) and tcpstat (Aegis). And I don't want to convert my Aegis-style host files yet (SR10 will require it). So I called Apollo to ask which one we should install. I was told that if you want tools from both distributions, simply install both -- they coexist. Although it shouldn't matter which you install first, the Aegis version was suggested.
