I am thinking of purchasing a "unix" operating system for my
PC-compatible at home.  I received some information from a company
named Wendin (located in Cheney, Washington).  They sell a product
"pcnx", which supplies the user with a unix environment, as well
as multiuser(up to 3 ttys),multitasking(including cron), etc.  
Wendin claims that :

	" ... You can even port most UNIX source programs to run on 
	your personal computers directly! ... "

------------------------------------------------------------------
1 ) Has anybody heard of Wendin and/or "pcnx" ??  

2 ) Does anyone have a better suggestion to a low cost unix 
	 operating system for a pc-compatible ??

(pcnx costs $99.00, and the source code is included for Microsoft C,V3.0) 

Thanks in Advance
