	I am interested in running UNIX on my Mac, however before shelling out
the $2000 Businessland wants for the package, I would like to know if anyone
out there has used it and what their experience was like, i.e. is it buggy (a
rumour I've heard says that it is).  Also, does anyone know if it works with
Virtual (the DA which gives uses the PMMU to give you machine up to 8Meg of
VMem) or if the A/UX support files (e.g. man, enscript, etc) can be spread out
over multiple small disks or if one big disk is needed?  If so how big is
necessary?  Finally, how much physical memory is necessary for it to run well?
4Meg, 8Meg, or more?

Thanks in advance for all your help,
Steve

P.S. - If the response warrents it, I will summarize to the net.
