Any experience with Enix (Everex SysV for 386)?

I have had a copy of the beta release of Enix for some time now.
We didn't run it on our 'real' system but I have used it and it seems
like real system 5.  Found a couple of bugs in the beta but nothing
exciting.

My interpretation of their intent (that should get anyone who told me
things off the hook) is to make UNIX a commodity so people will buy
computers and run UNIX.  They hope that some people will buy Everex
hardware but Everex doesn't sell everything (smart comm boards, for
example) so they have to support other hardware.

After I get the real release (I am expecting it within a week or so) I
will try to post a more detailed list of experiences.
