So that's why _I_ would run BSD on a PDP-11.
All I remember about Unix on a PDP-11 is that it was painfully slow.
At school, we had a PDP-11/70 (DECsystem 570, I think) that was almost
universally hated. It was replaced by a fairly small AT&T 3B machine,
which was not as painfully slow.
I am not sure why the machines were real turtles, as there were never
more than perhaps 10 users on at a time.
