First off the PS2/30 is a piece of junk, it's an 8088.  Running UNIX without
protected mode is a lose.  You just can't multitask well in that architecture.

Second, there are at least two versions of UNIX out that will run on a 386
in 386 mode.  The one I am most familiar with is the Intel (Interactive
Systems) System V for the 80386 which seems to be a perfectly good UNIX
as system V's go.  Sun also has their new "roadrunner" product that run's
Sun OS (a hybrid BSD UNIX).
