Keywords: Coherent MINIX comparison Message-ID: Date: 11 Jun 91 11:47:52 GMT Sender: news@rwthinf.UUCP Distribution: comp Lines: 20 Hi all! I am planning on buying one of the packages mentioned and was even pretty sure that MINIX would be the one. But after reading through the contents list I wasn't so sure anymore. As far as I can judge, Coherent might be the system of choice for those who just want to "use" it, but who are not interested in modifying the system itself. So, what do YOU think? For an electronics engineering student wanting to "prepare" programs for bigger UNIX machines on his "tiny" 386SX at home, what system will do best?! If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. On the other hand: if this subject has been covered ad nauseam already, would someone please send me a recap of the discussion, please? Many thanx in advance, Jochen. -- Jochen Wolters | jochenw@cip-s02.informatik.rwth-aachen.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Taniwha is waiting for me just below the surface so bright..."
