Re: Best OS for the following...

What about a good machine with Linux?

Say a dual P3, 1G RAM, RAID 3 SCSI HD (60 GB I suggest).

I think it's stable and not so expensive.

It's also open and free!

It's like a real Unix, we test some progs under linux and then reompile them under SUN OS SOLARIS, beet of fun!

Bye!
