I have a fewd questions that I hope someone can answer for me. I am building a 386 box up to run UNIX either sys V 3.2 or Sys V 4.0. I am looking at a 25 mhz machine with cache. Any suggestions on motherboards (manufacturers) I hear terrible things about DTK so I'll stay away from them. I heard from a co-worker that AMI motherboards are very good. Any suggestions, comments etc etc...? I would like to know the poop on UNIX sys V revision 4. Will SCO be releasing a version of it? How about ESIX ? Will it run on generic 386 boxes? Who supplies it?!? How much would it cost? Any comments, suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help !

I have heard unofficially from SCO that they will wait for V.4.1 to insure that the release is stable, and will add long names and symbolic links to SCO UNIX. I personally will take V.4 rather than a hacked V.3.2, but that's my opinion. I don't understand why a company which moved from Xenix to UNIX to be more standard is now going to offer a one of a kind product again, but they make money so they must be right (right?). | Will it run on generic 386 boxes?

V.4 is worth waiting for. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
