There seems to be quite a few messages of the form: 386 unix X doesn't work on hardware Y, unix X sucks and I wouldn't even recommend it to Sadam Hussein. I think this is being somewhat unfair to the makers of 386 unix, after all in most cases it is the hardware that is incompatible. I do not envy the poor unix porter who has to deal with the massive amounts of incompatible hardware that exist. If a hardware maker is unwilling to provide unix support for there product, give your money to some one else. If some one has the time an and a place to put it, it might be worth while gathering a list of which hardware does and doesn't work with certain versions of unix, which would be available for anonymus ftp. This would save alots of guess work when trying to assemble a unix system. P.S. Does any one know of a cheap 1024X768X256 video card that comes with support for X windows?
