Is anyone running Unix on their vintage machine? If so what flavor, is it available for others?
Thanks,

Fifth, sixth and seventh edition UNIX and 2.11BSD on PDP-11, tried NetBSD on a MicroVAX too. Is there a particular machine you're hoping to run some kind of UNIX on?
I love Solaris 8. Took me a bit of getting used to, but when I got it I loved it.The only UNIX I use is Solaris 8 on my Sparc Ultra 5 and A/UX 3.11 on my Apple Workgroup Server 95.
FreeBSD on my 486.
I'd love a HP-UX box though (although it doesn't seem the most flawless UNIX I heard)
A 286? Xenix will do.
Don't know about the exact RAM requirements, but 2.5 mb should be more than enough to run it, maybe with a few terminals attached too.
Any suggestions on what I can get to run on my equipment? 286 2.5 RAM
I personally run SCO Xenix as it has biggest software base. Microsoft Word, Multiplan, Basic, FoxPro, Lyrix, Word Perfect.
