I caught the tail end of a flame war earlier, I really hope this doesn't
start another. I'm looking for any opinions - hopefully objective - on
the strengths and weaknesses of different 386 UNIX platforms. Some key
concerns:
- stability
- efficiency/speed
- TCP/IP, SLIP and/or PPP support
- support for 24-bit true color hardware of any sort,
but preferrably on the cheap.
E-mail is much appreciated. I hope also that people can post their
opinions and engender further discussion, without bristling fur and
ruffling feathers.
Thanks much,
Brandon
