real newbie need to know...
hi everybody,
so as you know i'm a real newbie in the unix world and i wanna know if i can install unix (not linux or other derived) on a toshiba T1950 portable computer ? It is a 486 cpu with 8mb ram, monochrom screen, and a 200mb hd, no cdrom... The latest version of unix is not necessary, a very old one is good too, if i can still use it with internet etc
I also wanna know how big is the last version ?
Thanks for your help !!

drawterm
DRAWTERM(1) General Commands Manual DRAWTERM(1)
NAME
drawterm - connect to Plan 9 CPU servers from other operating systems
SYNOPSIS
drawterm [-d] [-a authserver] [-c cpuserver] [-e encription_hash_algs] [-k keyspec] [-s secstoreserver] [-u username] [-C command args ...]
DESCRIPTION
drawterm is not a Plan 9 program. It is a program that users of non-Plan 9 systems can use to establish graphical cpu(1) connections with
Plan 9 CPU servers. Just as a real Plan 9 terminal does, a drawterm serves its local name space as well as some devices (the keyboard,
mouse, and screen) to a remote CPU server, which mounts this name space on /mnt/term and starts a shell. Typically, either explicitly or
via the profile, one uses the shell to start rio(1).
By default, drawterm uses the CPU server $cpu or cpu, and the authentication server $auth or auth,
OPTIONS
This program follows the syntax of the cpu(1) Plan 9 command.
A summary of options is included below.
-h Show summary of options.
-a Specifies the authentication server to use. If not present uses the $auth environment variable, if present, or tries with a host
name of auth.
-c Specifies the cpu server to use. If not present uses the $cpu environment variable, if present, or tries with a host name of cpu.
-u Specifies the username to authenticate with. If not present uses the $USER environment variable, if present, or asks interactively
for an username.
-s Specifies the secstore server to use.
-C Specifies a command to be executed remotely.
-e,-k Allow for selecting the hash algorithm and keys used, they have the same meaning as in cpu(1).
SOURCE
In Plan 9 distributions, /sys/src/cmd/unix/drawterm.
DIAGNOSTICS
Drawterm prints most diagnostics in its own window.
BUGS
Although at first drawterm may seem like a Plan 9 terminal, in fact it is just a way to provide a CPU server with some terminal devices.
The difference is important because one cannot run terminal-resident programs when using drawterm. The illusion can be improved by deli-
cate adjustments in /usr/$user/lib/profile.
Should import latest /dev/draw to allow resize of window
Should copy 9term code and make console window a real 9term window instead.
Should implement /dev/label.
