The goal: To make them into UNIX machines, and network them: Questions: 1) Do I have to install the Kernal, Development Systems, (I need Simultask too), and Networking siftware on EVERY machine? 2) Can I make do with only the kernal on each machine, sharing the Development system and Simultask from a server, say like RFS? 3) What are my options? i.e. what is the minimum software I need on each machine but still network them. All kinds of suggestions welcome. BTW, I intend to use Interactive' UNIX with VP/ix. thanks in advance, -bindu rama rao att.com!cbgold!brr brr@cbgold.att.com
