	Hey!  Anybody know anything about this?  This seems to be an
out-of-sight price for a somewhat complete Unix system.  Does it work
at all?  How about on a 80286 16Mhz w/1Mb Ram?  I'm incredibly excited
about this because it would allow me (a lowly student) to gather some
much desired experience with Unix on a level other than just a user...

	Replies to me would be nice, as 200+ msgs a day on this group
are a bit much to read...

	Thanks!
