   Hello!
   My name is Norbert Hanigovszki, I am student at the Politechnic Highschool of Timisoara, Romania,
   I have a 286-based PC and I'd like to run UNIX on it. I intended to install FeeBSD on it but unhappily it does not support this type of processor. Do you know where can I find a UNIX OS that runs on my computer?
   Thank You.
   Please mail me to:

Minix, by Tannenbaum, or Mark Williams' Coherent are your best bet for
a Unix approximation on a 286.  comp.os.minix and comp.os.coherent
are the newsfroups of interest.  Their FAQs should give you a leg up.
Try ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/comp/os/{minix,coherent}
if you are not satisfied with the currently spooled postings available
to you.
