- I was surprised to see no mention of Linux on this group.
-
- Linux is a full 32 bit OS complete with demand loading, shared libraries,
- virtual memory, X windows (X386), the ability to mount DOS
- disks as file systems, BSD job control, etc.
-
- Take a look at comp.os.linux or tsx-11.mit.edu pub/linux
-
- So far Linux is the best OS I've used on the 386 and 486 so far,
- I've tried Xenix and Esix, Linux while still missing network support
- beats them on almost all other points.
