Does this person primarily want to run DOS applications? If so, unix is probably not the way to go, if there will be more than 3 users on at a time. One other thing to consider about unix: If you aren't already familiar with it (read that "a capable system administrator") you'd better set aside about 6 months to learn it before you allow anyone to become dependent on the system. Unix is *not* a remake of ms-dos, and minicomputer operating systems are not for the timid. Now, to answer your question, I've been using Interactive unix with VP/ix (dos under unix) for several months and like it very much. Buy it from a VAR, because you WILL need support.
