[comp.unix.sysv386] Need recommendation: SCO vs IX vs DELL

stenzer@well.sf.ca.us (Steve Enzer) (12/15/90)

Hi -

	I need recommendations for selecting a unix for my application:

	I need to run a multi-user bbs for tech support.  I will probably use
Citadel, and something like a Hub-6 on a 33 Mhz 386, because they are so
cheap.

	I would like to buy SCO, but I think the price is far too high, especially
since they unbundle the C compiler and X.

	What about IX? Is it still $99 including CC?  How much is X? What about
DELL?  

	What have people's responses been with these systems, either running
massive dial-ins, or running X? (We would like to go with one UNIX in house)

	In my opinion, it's almost cheaper to get a sun and get the OS free,
than to get a cheap 386 and pay through the nose for software.

	Jordan

See the current issue of _UNIX Today_ for a comparative review of
Dell and UHC SVR4.
