- I am looking to put a UNIX-like operating system on a PC-compatible
- computer. As this is for personal use, expense is a major
- consideration. Could someone please tell me where to find information
- concerning the advantages or disadvantages of the various UNIX and
- UNIX-like (e.g. COHERENT, QNX, ... ) systems currently available?
-
- My system is currently a 286 class machine. However, as I am looking to
- upgrade to a 386 or 486 in the near future anyway, information on the
- software available on any of these would be useful.
-
- Thanks in advance for whatever help you might be able to provide.
