I need some information of Unix OS's for PCs. I am probably going to set up a multi-USER system for some one. He has a Gateway 2000 386 machine currently (I believe) but has no multi com boards other than the two serial cards in the machine. What I need is some information (product reviews) on any PC Unix, what it needs to run, what I need to develop software, rough costs etc. Some of the specific questions I have are: Whats Available? How much does it cost? Where can I get it? How does it work with DOS? Product Support Personal Opinions Etc. Please E-Mail, I will post a summary.

He has a Gateway 2000 386 machine currently (I I would suggest SCO Xenix which is a solid operating system - and supports most of the popular hardware available today. I have been running it for the last 2 months without a single problem. Prior to SCO Xenix, I was running Interactive Unix System V - and that is a bag of worms. Xenix is tested and works - as advertised. -- Larry Snyder uucp:iuvax!ndcheg!ndmath!nstar!larry The Northern Star Usenet Site 4 high speed lines (PEP/HST/V96/V.42) Notre Dame, IN USA 219-287-9020

I have the latest in hard disk, display adapters, serial i/o, and ethernet networking installed without a problem. I have ported lots of code to 386/ix without a problem, but when the code is ported to my 2.3.2 release of Xenix there are lots of problems. Some are coding problems, some are compiler differences. Just about any Xenix program will run under 386/ix so that isn't a problem. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Conor P.
