One of our systems was experiencing problems, so please excuse this
reposting if the original article made it to the net.

I would like to have a U*NIX type system at home for relatively little
$$$.  (Wouldn't just about everyone?)  To this end, I am considering
building one of the PC/XT clones from the bare boards available for
<$100 from several sources.

Has anyone on the net had any experience with this?  What caveats are
involved in getting the U*NIX to run?  How similar are different BIOSs?
Are there any particular companies to avoid and/or any to try?  Also,
any suggestions of other ways to do this?

Thanks in advance,

marcus
