DTR> sum 1 by os
Who has VAX Elan running? What's that machine doing? I think we should drop Cisco IOS and pyDECnet from
the count - those
aren't really OSes for our purposes.
I struggled back and forth on those. At the moment I've come down on
marking them that way.
For PyDECnet, I think it's pretty meaningless to say "Linux" or
"Windows" or whatever. PyDECnet is like its own standalone DECnet
environment that only exists inside that code Paul have written. Very
different from someone actually running Linux/DECnet for instance.
The even more funny thing about PyDECnet is how I should call the CPU in
this case. I've generally gone for saying the CPU is also PyDECnet, and
architecture is unknown. But I've spotted a few times when I've been
inconsistent.
As for Cisco IOS, why would you not say that this is properly the OS?
In general, if people spot something odd or wrong in the nodename
database, please ping me.
