I'd like to post some questions, please make the following assumptions:

1) I have no idea if this is the right conference, I didn't see a more
   specific one in my list

2) I'm sorry if this topic has already been discussed, I just started
   recieving this group.

  I am planning on purchasing Coherent Unix for a small non commerical
BBS system with two lines. I have a 386 machine but I would rather run
it on the 286 2MB machine I have. If anyone has any comments to make I'd
appreciate it, besides "Get a real OS" or other such comments. This is
going to be a free system, so I can't really justify purchasing SCO
Xenix.

I have heard about Minix and in fact had a copy of it once but I'm
rather leery of it.. at the time (about 2 years ago) it had
compatibility problems and was lacking several utilities such as uucp
transfers. I understand that Coherent includes a uucp implementation,
and at $100 it's a good deal.
