|    What kind of machine would I need? A rea    |

      From: skeller@nospam.gmail.com              Hello,       While I've been using Unix for many years, I've only recently become       interested in actually owning a copy of the software and a machine to run it       on. I have a linux box set up, and bsd is running on another machine, but       I'd really love to run Unix.              My question is this: Can I have just a single machine running, or do I need       a server and workstations/terminals? I went to my local recycled computer       place this weekend and was overwhelmed at the options: the tiny half-shoebox       looking machines, the large pizza-box shaped machines, the midi-towers,       etc...              If I just want to run Unix at home, what's my best option, hardware-wise?              I don't need Solaris 10, though I do dream about 64 Bit Opteron chips. For       my current level, an older version (SunOS 5.9?) would suit me just fine.              Which leads me to my next question... once I get the hardware, where can I       get the software? Any ideas?              Thanks very much in advance!       Stephanie              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
