I'm sortof kindof thinking about buying a cheap Unix box. Can anyone recommend a stridently good machine? Requirements: 1) Bitmapped screen 2) MUST run 4.3 Berkeley (none of this system V junk). 3) Inexpensive (and built to stay thatway) The Mac II came to mind but fails due to 3 and in part to 2 since I'm hearing negative things coming from knowledgable people about AU/X. One of our people recommended something from a place called Integrated Solutions (?) which supposedly runs a 4.3 port. Ideas? -- John T.

Do you know what a DEC Vaxstation-2000 is? Nice machine (pirate is a VS2000). Now if it only ran 4.3... (actually, I think MIT has the mods to 4.3 to make it run on a VS200) Chet Ramey chet@cwjcc.CWRU.EDU | Chet Ramey chet@cwjcc.CWRU.EDU chet@alpha.CES.CWRU.EDU | | "It is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate king"
