Is there a Berkeley based unix available for desktop sized computers? e.g. The
IBM-PC, Amiga, Apple (cough!) A Sys V--Berkeley mix would be good too. Thanks.

A Sun 3/50 or 3/60 is easily desktop-sized -- it's not much bigger than an IBM AT. SunOS is a 4.2 BSD derivative with many SysV extensions.

SunOS is a 4.2 BSD derivative with many SysV extensions. Actually, the latest release should be based on UNIX System V Release 4.0, which merges System V, SunOS (4.2BSD), and Xenix into a single system. Suns do seem to be popular desktop UNIX platforms. I'm sure there are others, which should be easy to find in any of the trade journals.

(The SunOS from whence the S5R4 stuff came is mostly 4.x stuff, which is more based on 4.3BSD than on 4.2BSD at this point.)
