- For me, typical Unix systms = AIX, IRIX, Dec UNIX, HPUX etc. Lots of
- people rushed to say that Linux could run on small systems. True
- enough, but Linux is NOT a "typical Unix system"!
-
- It is also true that Unix once ran fine on 128K byte PDP 11's, but I
- am talking of a typical commercial Unix implementation, including X
- and Motif.
