But there's a complete UNIX V7 available to run in 640K on XT
hardware. My first 'make world' was on a 4.77MHz 8088 (ahem
NEC-V20) with 768K and 10MB harddisk. With some better
hardware (386 and 2MB at minimum - works with less but is no
fun) you can also run it with a TCP/IP stack and telnet or
ftp to it like me. My one is a total oversized 486DX4-100
with 16M and 1G disk.
