Hi,
I'd like to get a straight (ie no X) Unix running on some sort of
older, but not necessarily ancient, hardware. My Micro-11/73 is
not really suitable, and PDP-11s that are seem to be a bit thin
on the ground over here in the UK. I've seen a few Vaxen and
MicroVaxen on the market lately so my thoughts are turning in
that direction. I know a few people here run such machines and I'm
seeking advice on the best machine to look for and, at the risk of
starting a religious war, the best unix to run on it... :-)
My suggestion is UNIX V6 running on PDP11/40. The reason is that there
is a book "lion's commentary about Unix V6 with source". If you do not
have PDP11/40, You could make a PDP11/40 on FPGA (designed by a
japanese professor), or you could run the unix on Simh.
You are not looking for speedy computer anyway.
