I have a 386 AT compatable machine with 2 MB memory and an st-506
(currently a too small 44 MB) hard disk. I am interested in running
UNIX on this machine.
Being a student, I don't have too much money, so I'm looking for a low-cost
solution. I need to be able to run Gnu Emacs and TeX without too much
hassle. I also need peaceful co-existance with DOS. I don't need to try
to run DOS programs under UNIX, just read/write a dos partition and choose
either system at boot time (the second of which I gather is easy).
Can anyone offer suggestions or share their experiences?
Reply by mail and I will summerize.
