At our site there is a possibility of obtaining a Data General Machine
(a 6000 I think but I'm unsure of the model number). I understand that
DG provides a native UNIX operating system as an alternative to their
proprietary OS. I'm interested to know how many sites might be running
UNIX on DG machines and what your experiences have been (good or bad).

What flavour of UNIX does it most closely resemble. We're currently running
BSD 4.3 on a VAX 780 - will we have trouble re-compiling sources on the DG?

Thanks very much for any info you can provide.
