IBM's OS/2 has a great history as a workstation operating system, it was a major alternative OS in the '90s. At its peak time in the mid-'90s OS/2 had about 2 million users but the Windows NT and Windows 95 releases broke its further development. This year Serenity Systems has released a new client version of OS/2. This article will introduce you to what OS/2 is all about. You will learn its history, its user interface, and its power under the hood. The article is also accompanied by a number of screenshots.

I left the article with more questions than when I started. The story states that this is a "client" OS, which leads me to ask client to what? I heard that Citrix started off on OS/2 way back when; is this a continuation of the same? What's even more confusing is the control panel -- "DHCP, web, ftp, telnet servers, BIND, DNS and other exotic networking software, all can be controlled." It seems to me that this review is only half of the story!
What about the server part that is apparently necessary for all of this to work? Wouldn't it make more sense to review them as a unit?
