I'm looking to run UNIX on my IBM and wondered what software was the 
"best."  I've looked at 386BSD, Linux, and NetBSD and read their info 
files.  It looks like Linux is the best bet.  Any comments?  I'm looking 
for a system that will be connected to my local university via a SLIP 
connection as well as offer incoming calls through the phone lines.  I'll 
probably be running some sort of BBS software, rn, and ftp.  I'd like to 
offer telnet, but since I want this an anonymous system, I doubt the 
university would appove.

Right now, I'd be running a very limited system, probably a 386 with no 
more than 8 megs and a couple hundred meg HD.  Hopefully, I'd be able to 
upgrade to a 486 and add a couple of phone lines.

Ok, that's about all the details I have.  Any suggestions?
