AT&T doesn't support placing thier unix on a non-AT&T box.  (It will work,
but they don't want to get into the headaches of umpteen million different
configurations and the little differences between them).

If you want pretty much pure AT&T stuff you can get ESIX, or Bell Tech (now
Intel) Unix.  Interactives Unix is the same kernel, with additional 
performance modifications/additions.

I run interactive unix because of the much better X support and high 
performance disk driver that was only available from interactive at the time
I bought my main system.
