connors@uvm-gen.UUCP (The Unix Blizzard) (03/29/88)
I have been reading this newsgroup for sometime. I need a decent Unix
to run a 386 or 286 box. I will beginning a CS grad program where I will
need to do lex, yacc, ... I live too far from school to use their machines.
Will this Unix fit the bill? I won't be doing any heavy graphics or really
weird drivers, or text formatting, or floating point.
Is it worth it? I have some resources, but low upper bound on the bucks.
Does it run better on certain systems? Which ones? Should I have a math
coprocessor? How big of a disk? I am starting with a clean slate, a
blank piece of paper, ...
Please e-mail me your suggestions, reccomendations, snide remarks :-), et al
Do I have to tell my wife that she will be a computer widow for a few months?
