If one does not need to use DOS and Unix simultaneously, then Linux or 386bsd
is a viable option. You can get 386bsd at agate.berkeley.edu:/pub/386BSD
as well as XFree86 for 386bsd. At least under 386bsd, one can always use a
dual-boot manager to bring up dos or 386bsd. Additionally, you will have nfs
so that you can share disk resources in your environment. For instance, one
of the 386bsd systems is connected to the internet and we use it a lot to
compile large packages such as X, interviews, tk, the kernel, etc..

Enjoy,
