- Hello everybody...
-
- My hardware: (no-name-clone( 486/33, 8MB, 234MB, ET4000 SVGA...
- My os: MS-DOS 5.0
-
- Now, I'm not too happy with the MS-DOS, and I'm planning to install also
- some UN*X system to another partition in my HD (I suppose, I will have
- plenty of space to do that...). Now, I have couple of questions for you
- more experienced people in this matter. I do know something about Unix and
- use it in my work, but I would love to have it at home also.
-
- I have read lots of things about different Unixes and my options have now
- come to 2, Coherent or Linux.
-
- So,
-
- 1) Have you used Coherent before? If so, why did you change to Linux?
- The price is not a reason, Coherent is extremely cheap to my standards
- and I wouldn't think twice about paying for it...
-
- 2) How I can get Coherent on disks? I have read in this newsgroup about
- these "SLS (or whatever) distributions", but are they in CDROM? I would
- like to get a distribution package, which includes the X, gcc and other
- stuff as well. Now, I can not do anonymous FTP... And I don't have a
- CDROM player, only 5"25 and 3"5 drives...:(
-
- Sorry, if these are FAQ questions... But I haven't seen answers to these
- questions anywhere...
