Hi... Any and all UNIX systems are fully Y2K compliant, as long as the hardware they run on is. However, their time_t value (UNIX time is represented in seconds since 00:00 Jan 1 1970) will overflow sometime in the 2030s I think. After that time_t will have to be expanded to 64 bits and all programs using it recompiled. Not exactly as hard as rewriting billions of lines of code; instead just modifying a single library header and compiling some stuff.
