We are thinking of setting up a network of 32 IBM PC-AT compatible
(80386-based, 4Mb RAM) with one or two PC's acting as a file server
(16 Mb RAM) for the rest and using ethernet.
We would be grateful if any one can comment or provide some
information on the following:
	What unix is available to run on 80386-based PC-AT compatible 
	(16 megahertz, 4 Mb RAM, 40 Mb Hard disk).  
	Will it be able to support such a network.  Or will we have to
	hookup something like a Sun as the server and run pc-nfs (if
	there is one available under unix PC)
