Reply-To: klein@sunrise.huji.ac.il () Organization: The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Date: 2 Jul 92 10:23:18 GMT Message-ID: <4909@shum.huji.ac.il> Followup-To: comp.unix.bsd Sender: news@wang.com Lines: 20 I am sorry if this question has been hashed through ~rthis newsgorup a thousand times already but I did watch for a few days and didn't see any posting of FAQ so I will go ahead. I am interested in getting the cheapest UNIX system with X Windows that I can. I figure this means going with a 80486 PC Machine. What I need to know is: How much hard disk space mustI have for the system and X11 ? What are the cheapest decent operating systems available ? (Here Public Domain and Shareware obviously getpoints.) Do the systems come with a C-Compiler or is GNU a good source ? Sorry again if my questions are old hat. David Klein KLEIN@SUNRISE.HUJI.AC.IL P.S. I won't post E-Mail responses unless people show an explicit interest. Something I doubt will happen.
