From: root <root@gate.sorostm.ro> Date: Wed, 24 Apr 1996 18:59:27 +0300 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: norbi@ltmpt.sorostm.ro 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. //alk
