I have been offered a AT&T unix workstation for $400. It has a 20 meg drive, floppy, com ports, all software and manuals. I believe the system is version 3.something. Would this be a useful system to start on? Would it end up th proverbial boat anchor? Remember, I know squat about Unix and can't afford much dough for sftware etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
