Sorry to bother you, but I've been trying to figure out how to
run UNIX and some Motif-like window manager on my new PC.
I had heard that the Free Software Foundation has a decent
kernel called Linux, and that SIPB has worked with it.
I'm basically ignorant in this matter, but I was wondering
who/what I should ask regarding reliability, rights to, configuring
of, and compiling of linux. Could you help me out, or tell me the
right person to ask?
If I sound totally confused, all I really want to accomplish is set
up my desktop machine to run like a recognized X terminal.
Any suggestions?
Again, sorry about the randomness of this email, and thank you.
