Quoting "Lightner, Jeff" <jlight...@water.com>:
Up until Bill came out with NT with the stated intention of killing UNIX
I was somewhat of an M$ fan (over Apple that is). All he really
succeeded in killing was Netware. Now years later Apple is running a
UNIX based OS - go figure.

My thanks to everyone that answered for their wit and wisdom, both of

would
have all the functionality (and more!) of Unix, but would have a Common
Flag and
Parm Convention so you wouldn't have to learn a different one for every
different command?

it's all over the place. myself i just create links from /var/named
(which is where I think it was found on most commercial UNIX's I've
used, IRIX admin here..) to wherever they decided to stick it. That
being said, if you build it from source (which I'd be inclined to do if
not using a linux wiht a support contract), you can pass the path to
configure and place it anywhere you wish with zero functionally loss.
its a bunch of "my way makes sense, i'll pee in this corner, its
mine now).

I'm

I have always found it to be a good idea to do what the OS wants.
Many
OSes now are set up to run bind in a chroot jail (a good thing), but
this requires a specific directory structure. If your OS has already
set that up (and if the startup scripts work with that structure),
then
it's best to keep them that way. Probably the ideal thing to do is
use
the OS defaults and then symlink your previous directory structure to
the OS defaults as necessary to maintain compatibility with your
in-house scripts and processes.
