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 !
