I'm about to get a 386/33 with 8MB & 2*200MB disk, and 
I'm looking for a cheap Unix or Unix work-alike.  I'd 
like to hear some cogent comparisons between at least two
of the following systems (and any similar ones) that you 
have actually WORKED WITH (I've read all the full-page 
ads already): 

coherent, minix, mks toolkit for dos, esix, xenix, sco,
interactive 

Please send me e-mail.  If I get a manageable number of 
intelligent responses, I'll summarize back to this 
distribution. 

All except the first 3 are pretty much out of my price 
range, but I'd still be curious to hear comparisons, 
focusing on ease of installation and use and missing 
essential features.

Thanks!
