Re: [Discuss] Whence distributed operating systems?

Hmmm. I guess I meant single system image more in the sense of an extension of the research work done in the 80s (and nineties a little?) in the sense of there being a real network operating system. i.e. something picking up from where Chorus or Amoeba left off. (I haven't used these systems only
