My 4.5 install is about to boot up for the first time right now (I had to hack the CD
image with ed to get it to install from an RQ device since there's no SCSI support in
SIMH) and I'll give you my first impressions.
Thing is, I quite liked Tru64 when I ran it on PersonalAlpha (I wouldn't waste an
actual Alpha on UNIX, VMS only - I can run any number of UNIX-like OSes on normal
hardware) but I wonder why they put binaries in /etc, I always thought that was a config
directory, now the name makes sense: /etc = random stuff goes here since we don't have
/sbin yet :P

?Fair enough - as I said, it was a time where everyone was trying to protect their own
turf. The Sun/AT&T deal sort of cemented that, which is why OSF/1 was so important.
