Ah this is a shame - I would have thought that given the maturity of the
code maintaining maybe wasn't so much a technical as a time consuming
occupation?
I wonder if we have the resources in the HECnet community to keep this
going? Has this subject come up before and passed me by?
Are there any other unix alternative other than Digital Unix/tru64?
Cheers, Mark.

Well, no, not as I understand it...
The DECNET for Linux guys stopped working on the code a while back, the kernel devs then
dropped the code as well and none of it is maintained.
I think the latest version of Ubuntu Server that it runs on is like 12.04, which is
ANCIENT.
