Although it must be the acme of masochism in a sense to set up a UNIX system just to emulate MVS, I can see how the nostalgic appeal of the set-up might work. Now if someone would just write a Multics emulation for PCs, that would be very cool indeed! And even on a tiny PC, it would surely run faster than the old Multics ever did on the mainframes of the time (the processors in those days could not even break 2 MIPS). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Sobolak" To: "FreeBSD Question List" Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:10 Subject: Re[2]: Tiny starter configuration for FreeBSD > Hello Anthony, > > Tuesday, October 30, 2001, 3:15:31 AM, you wrote: > > >> Ah but what about the environmentally friendly OS, > >> the one that lives a healthy life and doesn't spread > >> nasty viral diseases around the globe ?
