IMHO your best bet is buy MINIX.  It looks like V7-UNIX,
comes with a reasonably full set of UNIX utilities
(including cc, make,elvis - a vi look-a-like, elle - an
emacs look-a-like, and a real shell.)  And, except for the c
compiler and elle you get =source code= for everything!  MINIX is
available from Prentice-Hall (or any bookstore that deals with
them) and has a list price of $169.  The minimum configuration
you will need to run all of the utilities is a 1 meg machine and
you should have 2.5 meg (or better) with two double sided floppy
drives.
