Dynix/ptx started with a SVR3 source code tree. They became SVR4 by writing their own code to meet the API specifications in order to save some money over buying an SVR4 code base.
The Tao of Programming has two things to say about this:
There was once a programmer who was attached to the court of the warlord of Wu. The warlord asked the programmer: ``Which is easier to design: an accounting package or an operating system?''
``An operating system,'' replied the programmer.
The warlord uttered an exclamation of disbelief. ``Surely an accounting package is trivial next to the complexity of an operating system,'' he said.
``Not so,'' said the programmer, ``when designing an accounting package, the programmer operates as a mediator between people having different ideas: how it must operate, how its reports must appear, and how it must conform to the tax laws. By contrast, an operating system is not limited by outside appearances. When designing an operating system, the programmer seeks the simplest harmony between machine and ideas. This is why an operating system is easier to design.''
The warlord of Wu nodded and smiled. ``That is all good and well, but which is easier to debug?''
The programmer made no reply.
A novice programmer was once assigned to code a simple financial package.
The novice worked furiously for many days, but when his master reviewed his program, he discovered that it contained a screen editor, a set of generalized graphics routines, an artificial intelligence interface, but not the slightest mention of anything financial.
When the master asked about this, the novice became indignant. ``Don't be so impatient,'' he said, ``I'll put in the financial stuff eventually.''
Your explaination does not answer the question that I was posing to the person who I posted my response to. Namely: "if he is correct about SunOS and Solaris being the same thing, then why would there be such a fuss about installing one or the other?"

If you want a microkernel FreeBSD you know where to find it.
Perhaps better would be to redirect to a warning page that takes the user to their intended website after a few seconds.
But no one would see the page since the worm is not a web browser, it just sends out HTTP commands similiar to the way a web broweser does.

too bad i don't drink coffee though
Hey no problem! There's plenty of other things you can do with the stuff.
any more than you or me.
She is good at dodging questions like that though and deserves some points for that.
7th Edition UNIX is NOT Public Domain.
1986 BSD was not put through the re-writing process that led to 4.4BSD-Lite.
All of your argument are belong to false.
oops, I mouse-o'ed while moderating. This post exists only to cancel that moderation.
Kid, have you ever been de-wheeled?

Oh, but proftpd has a history of insecurities too.
There's also Pure-FTPd which is secure and GPLed.
If they new what they were doing they would have been using Pure-FTPd.

It's all about IP! Our precious IP!!!
What do you mean we were in violation of IBM patents? That's just IP--who cares?

Can't talk about, therefor can't learn anything.
then "Linux" must be a verb.

It will never come. He will have to go back to court to get his judgement enforced.
How do you know that you can't keep it if you got it for $0? Have you tried?

Heck, use one of these, it' will be way cheaper.
