I have been reading this newsgroup for sometime.  I need a decent Unix
to run a 386 or 286 box.  I will beginning a CS grad program where I will
need to do lex, yacc, ...  I live too far from school to use their machines.
Will this Unix fit the bill?  I won't be doing any heavy graphics or really
weird drivers, or text formatting, or floating point.

Is it worth it?  I have some resources, but low upper bound on the bucks.
Does it run better on certain systems?  Which ones?  Should I have a math
coprocessor?  How big of a disk?  I am starting with a clean slate, a
blank piece of paper, ...

Please e-mail me your suggestions, reccomendations, snide remarks :-), et al

Do I have to tell my wife that she will be a computer widow for a few months?

JC
