OK, if I interpret this aright, AIX 3.0 is found to be no more b{iu}g,
hairy, and hulking than SunOS. I'm not sure that's much of a compliment,
Jim! (As an aside to the rest of you: Do you really think humongous
kernels are OK, or at least not a problem to worry about? If so, have you
heard about the problems Sun had when things got so big they wouldn't fit
on an older machine--I think it was the 3/50?)
Or, perhaps Jim didn't really mean a damning-by-faint-praise comparison
with SunOS on size...but that leaves us with the mere complaint that his
system won't stay up long enough to do much!
(Jim - I don't mean to make fun of you, but where *were* you standing up
for IBM? I really don't think "not much worse than SunOS" is all that
kind!)
