- This brings up an interesting question. As part of my current ongoing
- campaign to cease being unemployed, I am trying to learn as much as I
- can about UNIX, beginning by reading books about it. I realize that
- sooner or later I will need to get some hands-on experience with it, but
- I don't have access to a UNIX system right now. I have been seriously
- considering installing Linux or Coherent on my 386, but I'm not sure
- how much work is involved in getting them to peacefully coexist with
- OS/2.
-
- Would a UNIX shell for OS/2 be close enough? If I can get the
- equivalent of UNIX experience by making OS/2 behave like UNIX, that
- would simplify matters immensely. Please tell me whether you think that
- makes sense, and if so, which shell I should start with. Thanks!
