System V Release 4.0 versus BSD

[Rahul Dhesi]

For about two years now, every time somebody has mentioned the System V
versus BSD battle (which was really lost and won years ago), somebody
else has invariably pointed to the not-yet-here-but-real-soon-now SVR4
as the panacea.  But most of the general public that's stuck with
System V has been really stuck with SVR3 (or in some cases SVR2, and in
one square-case-with-a-floppy, with SVR1).

By the time SVR4 becomes widely available, 4.4BSD and commercial OSs
derived from it will be becoming available and the debate will begin
again....And this time around, presumably the as-yet-nonexistent SVR5
will be the panacea.
