This seems to be an out-of-sight price for a somewhat complete Unix system. Does it work at all? How about on a 80286 16Mhz w/1Mb Ram? I'm incredibly excited about this because it would allow me (a lowly student) to gather some much desired experience with Unix on a level other than just a user... Replies to me would be nice, as 200+ msgs a day on this group are a bit much to read... Thanks! *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* *Charles R. (C. R.)
