Solved: unix question
Does anyone know if there is a unix or bsd OS that can run on an
older computer or one that does not have a heavy memory requirement.

thanks

Would need to know the computer specs,
but puppy linux has a small memory footprint.

Hi unixOS.

Check out the following links. What you need to track down are system requirements for any candidates that interest you (unfortunately not in following links, but most likely at candidate web sites):

FreeBSD

Comparison of BSD operating systems.

FreeBSD LiveCD.
