- But wouldn't it make more sense, for you, to find a really cheap used
- '386 with 4M of RAM (_very_ common, and should be < $1000 almost anywhere)
- and run Linux? You'd be able to set it up 100% UNIX right now, and you
- wouldn't have to wait for the "MiNT goes UNIX" group (if it ever formed)
- to get around to setting everything up.
