Systemology
===========
This section aims at presenting some systems and pointers to
documentation. It may help you addressing particular problems reported
by users.
The Rosetta Stone for Unix(1) contains a lot of interesting crossed
information on various Unices.
Darwin
Darwin is also known as Mac OS X. Beware that the file system
_can_ be case-preserving, but case insensitive. This can cause
nasty problems, since for instance the installation attempt for a
package having an `INSTALL' file can result in `make install'
report that nothing was to be done!
That's all dependent on whether the file system is a UFS (case
sensitive) or HFS+ (case preserving). By default Apple wants you
to install the OS on HFS+. Unfortunately, there are some pieces of
software which really need to be built on UFS. We may want to
rebuild Darwin to have both UFS and HFS+ available (and put the
/local/build tree on the UFS).
QNX 4.25
QNX is a realtime operating system running on Intel architecture
meant to be scalable from the small embedded systems to the hundred
processor super-computer. It claims to be POSIX certified. More
information is available on the QNX home page(2), including the QNX
man pages(3).
Tru64
The documentation of several versions of Tru64(4) is available in
different formats.
Unix version 7
Documentation is available in the V7 Manual(5).
