I am looking for information about how people have liked running
the various Unix operating systems on 386 clones.
Does it always feel like a cludge,
or can you kind of forget that you are working on a PC.
I realize this is dependent on the Unix implementation.
I am not really asking about the differences
between Unix operating systems**, rather can any of the Unix OSs work
right on a 386 or 486?
My alternative to getting a cheap 386 clone (about $1.5K for all
the hardware),
is waiting, saving and splurging to get a Sun or Next standalone ($3-4K).
Many Thanks,
