Hi, I am new to mach operating system, by this I mean my knowledge is limited to that of MACH is a clone of AT&T UNIX. Thus I have some mundane intro questions about MACH. 1) What is MACH - in detail ? 2) How far is it AT&T or any other *NIX compatible/different ? 3) Can it be run on a 386/25MHZ IBM AT clone ? 4) Where can I get it and how much does it cost (if it does) ? 5) Does one get sources for it ? 6) What compilers are out there supported by it ? 7) Networking capability ? 8) What kind of communication software/hardware capability it has ? 9) How different is it from MINIX ? 10) Are these questions similar in content to you group's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), if so where can I get the FAQ file ? Thanks in advance ! ===Raj===
