AT&T doesn't support placing thier unix on a non-AT&T box. (It will work,
but they don't want to get into the headaches of umpteen million different
configurations and the little differences between them).
If you want pretty much pure AT&T stuff you can get ESIX, or Bell Tech (now
Intel) Unix. Interactives Unix is the same kernel, with additional
performance modifications/additions.
I run interactive unix because of the much better X support and high
performance disk driver that was only available from interactive at the time
I bought my main system.
