I recall that there was some discussion a while back about Unix-type
operating systems for PC or AT machines.  Well, I now need information
in this area.  Specifically:

I need information on Unix-like OS's that will run on PC/AT's or
associated clones, in particular a PC-Limited AT.  Information should
include such things as source (where to order the OS), similarity to
"real Unix (what exisiting versions is it similar to / based on)", 
ability to run uucp (and become a Usenet node - very important!),
price, reliability, speed, quality of documentation, ease of installation,
cross development tools for MS-DOS, good karma, bad karma, etc.

Please e-mail responses.

Thanks (in advance, of course!)
