I am planning to get an NCR PC916 (386 pc-clone) and would
like to run unix on it.  What I want to run is UNIX, X11,
and PCDOS.  What would be the best configuration of PC to
get and same for the OS.  I was looking at getting it with
2 115MB drives, VGA card, 5 1/4" floppy drive, 3.5" floppy
drive.  What else do I need?  I want to run this a home and
get mail and news at home.  Also what sort of powerfail
recovery does this have?  I would like to leave it running
all the time and would need that.

Thanks'

Craig
