- I am looking for the info to convert my 486/33 PC into a unix box and
- the possibility/feasibility of its being used as X terminal. I am looking for
- the pointers to the following:
-
- Availibility of a Public Domain PC-UNIX package
- If not available in PD the best commercial source (I mean complete but
- inexpensive).
- Is 14.5k bps model fast enough or additional hard/soft ware is needed.
-
- The bottom line:
-
- Can I run X based programs on PC?
-
- All comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance.
