If those are your limitations (memory and space), then Coherent could be a very
good choice.  Most full blown 'ix systems would barely run (if at all) on your
configuration.  I use Coherent on a 286 w/20Mb and 1Mb memory and it runs very
well.  Of course I would like additional memory and space, but we all have our
limitations :).
