I was wondering what people out in net.land think is the best amount of memory on an AT to run Xenix/286. In fact what is the minimum? I realise that Xenix will take advantage of whatever memory that you have but for a small system (< 5 users on max) what do you think?

Performance left quite a bit to be desired needless to say. Now we're running 2.2.1 w/5 meg and all works rather well with 6 users and 12 multiscreens on the console. -- uucp: holston!barton
