   Solaris has it if one installs DiskSuite (I'm not sure if that
works under Solaris 10 -- or even if it's required under 10); AIX
has it "out of the box"; and, of course, the afforementioned Linux.

   Yes,  it's a wonderful read.  My take on the "OS plural" matter
is to determine whether when one is reading it (aloud) whether one
_says_  "oh ess" or "operating system".  If the former, as I do, I'd
use "OSes"; otherwise, "OSs".  But, that's kind of like the proverbial
question, "What's the plural of moose"?

   There's a reason for non-PC architectures, you know....

   Cheers.
