Let me expand on this:

advantages/features:
	- Fast File System - uses bitmap to do contiguous freelist block
	allocation. Noticeably increases FS performance - a 1K FFS is
	better than standard ATT 2K
	- HPDD - Very good disk and tape support, including SCSI
	- X11 support - extensive, EGA thro' Matrox hi-res colour. Motif and 
	Looking Glass, too
disadvantages:
	- Support. Hard to get - theirs is NOT good, and you only get
	it free if you bought from them - otherwise its $600/yr (approx).
	Buying through a GOOD dealer/distributor is must.
