Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Set up the own Unix ENvironment at home Post 12206 by LivinFree on Friday 21st of December 2001 12:39:26 AM

The only thing I can really contribute to this is to check out eBay for a few weeks before deciding to buy something... I did this (because I'm indecisive) and ended up finding a HP9000 workstation for 25 bucks... It works wonderfully, and I managed to get a PC monitor working with it (**watches the HP people in the forum cringe**).

Also, you can find old Pentium machine to play with Linux, *BSD, QNX... all kinds of cheap fun.
