[NTLUG:Discuss] Unisys U6000/65 and Linux?

[Fred James]

Fully understood - it is a 1993 model, and wasn't really quite the 
hottest thing at the time, but it wasn't bad - actually it started life 
with only 2 50Mhz CPUs, 48MB memory, and about 850MB disk, and no CD.
I forgot to mention, it also has a 1.3GB 4mm Dat tape drive (had it 
since day 1).

No cost actually - We have been running it since Jan/Feb of 1993, and 
the legacy database it supports may soon go away.
