- I am sorry if this goes to one or more of the wrong places.
-
- I am looking for a version of Unix that will run on a PC (probably
- 486/50 or so, but it would be nice if it ran on a 386sx for the time
- being.) I was wondering what versions are out there and what comes
- with each? If you have used some of these versions, one or more, and
- have a good idea of what they will do, please let me know what your
- thoughts on this are. Things that I am looking for specifically:
-
- Space constraints aren't TOO important but I don't necessarily
- want anything that is going to take gig's to set up.
- Support for X-windows would be very nice. (my system will
- have SVGA so I guess SVGA-X support would be nice.)
- What does anyone know of GNU portage, do GNU products port to
- the DOS versions of UNIX? This would be especially nice.
-
- Anything else that you can think of, let me know. (things I
- could check into, products that I should avoid, etc.)
-
- Thanks in advance.
