I am a college student who has been looking for a unix workstation.  One
opportunity that has come my way is an RT (model 6151-115) which has 4megs
of ram and a 70meg drive along with a 19" monitor (mono I assume).  It was
used to run Xwindows and AOS.  This sounds like a good system to me but
I don't know a whole lot about RT's so maybe you can answer some of my
questions before I get in over my head.

Is this Model (3 years old) still supported?  Was there any trouble with it?

Is it fast/slow (say compared to a Sun 3/50 or something)

I will have to buy Unix for it as they say they can not sell me AOS.
Is there any other unix other then AIX that I can get?  (A bsd release?)
Where do I go to get it (or AIX)?  How much will it cost?

Does anyone know the potential for expansion?  (Extra drives or tape?)
What sort of expansion slots are there?  Do I need to buy IBM products?

What is a good sized configuration?  Is 4 megs enough ram?  What is a
good sized drive?

Do most people run Xwindows from these machines?  Does to drag down the
system?  What will I be able to use for an input device?  Mouse?  Puck?
Once again - do these need to be IBM products?  Do they come with the RT?


Thank you for your help.  I would like to hear facts, opinions, and
any advice anyone has to share.
