I am thinking of setting up a SCO system. I have the following equipment:

	386 25 MHZ
	8 Meg ram (Max for board)
	335 MB ESDI  32k Cache Card
	Diamond Speedstar VGA (1 meg)
	Goldstar 14" 1024 X 768 monitor

What I need to know is this.

1. Is this enough hardware to run Xwindows single user.

2. Is X windows usable on a 14" monitor?
 
3. Is it possible to get on this network (news and email) from home?

4. Can I run a bbs so other users can get on the News & Email?


As always, thanks in advance for any and all information.

Bob Tortajada


P.S. I have never set up a unix system before, but I guess SCO would be the 
     software of choice.
