Message-ID: <DGRAY.92Oct26150904@menudo.uh.edu> Lines: 25 Sender: usenet@menudo.uh.edu (USENET News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: menudo.uh.edu Reply-To: DGray@uh.edu Organization: Academic Computer User Services Date: Mon, 26 Oct 1992 21:09:09 GMT I will be getting a Vax Station II very soon and would like to have a unix running for it shortly after. There are many questions I have for this and I haven't seen them in this group (been reading for a long time). So here they are: What BSD Unixes are available for the VAX? How about mach? What are the system requirements? This machine will have a 90 meg HD and 8 megs RAM. Obviously the VMS system, which is on it now, and a unix system will not fit on the drive at the same time. So, is it possible to load this unix system from the tape drive? What software is available for whatever unix that is available? Some things I'd like to get include GNU utilities (especially emacs and gcc 2.0), X windows and SL/IP... Where can I get more information on any of the above? Ftp sites? Thanks in advance, -dennis --- Dennis Gray, Jr. DGray@uh.edu
