Re: [DNG] *** SPAM *** Re: Lennart now working for Microsoft
We were using it as a Server OS and on the clients - and later on, wanted to start using the thin client-versions, too. But then, we understood, that there wouldn't be much further development and eComstation, as nice as it is, has not really made any progress compared to OS/2 :-( ;.( The server version was seriously cool and very stable. We thought the 32 bit HPFS was really cool. It was blazingly fast. Hans Reiser was closing in on it with reiserfs (that went off the rails). BTRFS has all of the HPFS cool features and then some. I just wish it recovered from crashes better. But now, there is Devuan :-) Why yes there is. :-) ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
