Troup) Newsgroups: comp.unix.aux Subject: New AU/X owner Message-ID: <2131@carroll1.cc.edu> Date: 6 Nov 90 00:41:09 GMT Organization: Skunk Works Robotics Research Lines: 22 I will be getting my IIci AU/X Machine this week, and I was wondering about a couple of things... - Can I get a NEWS reader? - Is 4MB RAM enough? (Will 8mb speed me up at all?) - Ive got a 60mb drive, should I give some more storage to AU/X? (I've got the 80 AU/X drive too) - Would a Cach Card help me (speed wise) or should I save for the DataStar 40mhz card? - How difficult is it to set-up a UUCP to a feed site for NEWS and MAIL? - What other UNIX shells/wares would YOU recommend for my AU/X to run a little smoother? Thanks in advance! -- David C.
