I am in the market for an entry-level Unix(tm) system for software
development, and would appreciate hearing comments from users of the
following systems:
IBM-PC/AT (Xenix, PC/IX if available)
Convergent Technologies Miniframe (SysV)
Heurikon Minibox (UniPlus+, Regulus)
NCR Tower
Callan UniStar 100
Of particular importance are hardware reliability, quality of the Unix port,
compile and link speed, and the usability of a minimum configuration, say
512K RAM and 20MB disk. Also, I am interested in other machines in the same
class but not listed above.
Please reply directly to me, and I will summarize to the net.
