While reading my latest UNIX World last night, I noticed a small article
in the Newsbytes section that told of a company (Berkeley something or other)
which is hoping to have a clone of BSD UNIX ready for shipping in September.
The article claimed that the clone would not have any AT&T code in it.
This would allow them to sell the system (including full source) for an
introductory price of $995 (later to rise to $1,995). Their first target
architecture will be the Intel 386/486 family.
Does anybody know anything additional information about this product?
Specifically:
- what C compiler will it include? GNU?
- will it include X-windows?
- what might be missing? Sockets? Networking? Fortran? DBX?
- how stable is the company?
- how stable is the product (must be getting close if they plan
to ship something in September)?
- what are they going to call it (UNIX is TM by AT&T)?
