UNIX for 386 summary

[Michael S. Pereckas]

To make the story short, I've been told that ESIX is good, and is only
$500-600, that Microport Unix V/386 is good and trouble free, running
TeX nicely, and that SCO Xenix might be what I want, since it is small
and memory efficient.

I should consider 80 MB of disk a minimum, and 2 MB RAM is either too
small or ridiculously small, depending on who you ask.  Gnu Emacs
(Eight Megs and Constant Swapping!) is pretty bad on 2 MB with Xenix,
apparently.  4 MB should be a minimum.  (Fortunately RAM is getting
pretty cheap.)

Thanks again to those who responded.
