Ok - I have a question for all of you A/UX wizards out there. I'm currently
a Mac user and am very familiar with Unix (as a matter of fact I'm
on of the System Administrators for some of the machines here at CU)
but I'm in the market for a new Mac (my Plus just doesn't cut it
any more) and I'm considering a machine to run A/UX. My question is
this: What do you guys think would be the minimum system I would
need to run A/UX as well as the Macintosh applications I already have?
In the A/UX Product specs it says that an 80Mb hard drive is
necessary but will that be enough? Also, what about X? For our Unix
machines here at CU it takes about 50Mb of disk space to compile
the X releases and 30 Mb to run it. What about under A/UX ? What kind
of disk space would I be looking at then? And when I'm running X under
A/UX will it allow me to use X window managers (I'm sort of partial to
TWM) or just run X clients?
Thanks,
