Here at UVM, we are running Unix Sys V/386 version 3.2.2 (upgrading to SysV Ver
4.0 soon) and I am very impressed with it.  The basic package comes with every-
thing to run a stand-alone system and also have a menu system for those not
familiar with Unix.  Add on packages include NFS, Xwindows, a multiple DOS
shell and plenty of other useful packages.

This system is completely Xenix compatible (with a package that is included
with the base package) and SysV Ver 4.0 will have BSD commands.

Another bonus is that with another add-on and cards you can make it into a
StarLan server and still run terminals (that is what we are doing).

I don't know about prices, but I am very impressed with the package.
