I have a question about ULTRIX:
(Background) I went to Northeastern U. in Boston,
and we had one VAX running VMS with everything
you can fit into the box (mostly memory and terminal
boards). Near the end of the quarter, it was not
unusual to find > 120 people logged on simultaneously!
I once asked whether UNIX would not be a better OS,
and I received the following answer:
UNIX may be a nice OS, but it is not as efficient
as VMS for the VAX. In other words, I can run
120 users on my VAX under VMS and many fewer under
UNIX.
MY QUESTION:
ULTRIX was developed for VAXen by the VMS wizards at DEC.
So how does the efficiency of VAX/ULTRIX compare to
VAX/VMS?
Anyone care to conjecture?
