unix for 286/386 machine

Post by sli » Thu, 26 Sep 1991 09:58:54



   Hi everyone,

          I have been using unix on HP and SUN platform for over 2 years now
   and like it very much. Right now, I am considering running unix on 286 and
   386 machine and eventually running X window on them. However, my knowledge
   on pc-based unix is very limited. Could someone tell me :
                How many kind of unix are there?
                Where can I obtain them?
                How much they cost?
                How much memory I need?
                How much disk space is needed?
                And any information you think is relevant.

           I will summarize and post responses.
           Thank you for your time.

    slim....
