Tru64 5.1A and 5.1B questions

[cms123]

Need information about Tru64 5.1a and 5.1b.
what is new in Tru64 5.1a and 5.1b.

How are they different from 5.1???
Are they just patches or are they new OS releases?

They are actual update software releases, which come with release notes for added/changed features.

Hi Chris and cms123,

As a newbie to the Tru64 OS I would like to ask you both if you have updated to 5.1B. Is this a complete kernel rebuild or simply a patch type installation?

Any comments would be great!

Hi dblair,

I wanted to know if the migration which are going to make from 5.1a to 5.1b is involved. 5.1b is supported in our contract with HP/COMPAQ whereas 5.1a is not.

As a novice UNIX user I was hoping to reduce our Consultants fees.
