Best C tools for a complete DELL or ESIX developer's system? Would prefer something comparable to Borland C++ but for UNIX. Is there no comparison? Why not? Price is a major concern. I'm new to the X world, want to learn serious coding. Developing a career. On a related point, is 4 MB RAM and 100 MB HD in a 20 Mhz 386DX enough for the DELL two-user UNIX set? How much HD space & RAM would DELL require? ESIX? What drives and systems work with DELL's $995 set? What more hardware might one need? And software? Hope to purchase complete UNIX in a year or so. Post if of common interest only; email welcome. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ btaplin@silver.ucs.indiana.edu craves Bay Area work. Religion BA.

Dell 2.01 required 8 megs to install (but ran in 4 megs as long as the loading was light). 100 megs of disk space will be very tight -- I would guess that 150 megs would be on the low side -- >What drives and systems work with DELL's $995 set?

Is this true? If not, what QIC-150 drives on SCSI does Dell SysV.4 really support? All? I want to get a tape subsys and a big SCSI disk at the same time. Can I get this packaged in one box (external to my CPU box) from any VAR's you can recommend? (Like AnDataCo for Suns) A SCSI QIC-150 600MBdrive combo would be Ideal. ...The move to SysV.4 is on ... :-) -- David Van Beveren INTERNET: emisle!dvb@ism.isc.com EIS ltd.

If not, what QIC-150 drives Dell doesn't sell SCSI tape drives - but their unix indeed supports them - We use an Archive 2150S connected to the SCSI cable containing several SCSI drivers - without problems. -- Larry Snyder, NSTAR Public Access Unix 219-289-0287/317-251-7391 HST/PEP/V.32/v.32bis/v.42bis regional UUCP mapping coordinator {larry@nstar.rn.com, ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!larry}
