I have been considering purchasing a home computer (with graphics,
audio, etc.). I would like to purchase a *NIX system, however, I
suspect the cost of a *NIX system would be out of my price range ($1.17 -
$3000.00). However, I will be satisfied with a computer that runs a
decent C compiler (decent meaning one that works with few bugs) on a
680*0.
Could someone please advise me as to which micros fit into either of
these categories? Personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would like to know which CPU each micro is based on and what the
future of the micro is believed to be (i.e., I hope that the system I
buy doesn't follow the fate of the well-beloved **-99). Is a plethora of
s/w being developed for the micro in question? Thanks to all those who
will respond.

PS: It should be obvious from my posting that I am paranoid about copyrights.
Since I don't know much about them, I try to make a special effort not
to take any chances. Better to play it on the safe side.
