I suppose a barrier to using Ultrix (4.5) is the
availability of the necessary software packages (can't remember what the Ultrix term
was), I don't think the base distro that you can find lying around the net includes
things like DecNET or generally anything actually useful :-(
So possibly not a good starter for a newbie.
It's 1990s UNIX; the name of the game in that world is "download sources and
compile". Just about everything that we used on those system back in the day is
still available.
The term I think you're looking for is "CONDIST", Consolidated Software
Distribution. Some of them have been archived but I don't know offhand which ones.
There's a DECnet for Ultrix, which I've just started looking at. I don't
know if it will run under 4.5. Does anyone know offhand?
