I'm running System V.3.2 on my 4 MB RAM 16 MHz 70 MB Disk 80386 box, with a partial news feed, a BBS, development areas, and about 10 MB free after all of that. I wouldn't rule out real UNIX yet. Minix: 8086 O/S, with 386 version available by applying patches. See comp.os.minix. Coherent: 80286 O/S, no 80386 version available. See comp.os.coherent. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' peter@ferranti.com +1 713 274 5180. 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"
