I am likely to be in the market for such a system in the near future (that
is, one WITH man pages).  I would appreciate knowing which vendors do and do
not supply them with 386 *nixes.  I imagine that I am not alone, so I doubt
that posting this information would do any harm (to net.readers, anyway,
possibly some harm to deserving vendors :-).  Thanks in advance.
