I was wondering what the these os are:
BSD/OS
IRIX

Do they fall under the Unix/Linux or WinNt categories?

And does that mean that if lets say IRIX is NT then it can use it's database software?

Thanks

Chicken you should crawl under that rock for 3 hrs as punishment for stating bsd is linux :P

BSD is a flavor of Unix

they are completely different operating systems
Bsd was developed by Berkley

Sorry, I was just answering the question above, but I see now how it that looked. I should have said BSD falls under the Unix/Linux catagory.
