I would like to upgrade my current IBM PS/2 Model 80/44 to a X windows development platform. My current base: 1 IBM 16Mh PS/2, 44 MB HD. 1MB RAM. In the subject line above I say "low cost" I know I must be reasonable so I'll define low cost as a $3,000 budget. The best price for memory I have found for my machine is $950 for 4MB. Hard disks of any size (NOT IBM) for my machine is hard to find, any pointers? I am not brandname picky about which unix I purchase but it must handle very large programs (minix is out) A 1-2 user license is OK but I'll need the developers packages. (dbx and cc are minimal, f77 would be nice) There must be people out there who have already gone through this, I'm interested in your experiences. Thanks Steven Back sback@elbereth.rutgers.edu
