I need to get a UNIX OS to replace the Linux I am currently running
on a Pentium/100.
The requirements the new OS needs to fulfill are:
* Compatible with current hardware:
Pentium/100 w/16megs RAM
Cogent PCI Ethernet card
BOCA 16-port board BB2016
* Capability to support up to 16 simultaneous PPP sessions
* Ability to run CERN httpd for use as both HTTP server and
Proxy/Caching sever
* Ability to run Gated for routing and gating of IP packets
* Ability to assign multiple IP addresses to the single Ethernet
Interface
I need to know what the pricing would be on this OS, and where I can
purchase it from.
I have been trying to use Linux 1.2.13 for a while, and it crashes
every 2-4 days. This is completely unacceptable, and I need to get the
OS replaced ASAP with something that can run for months at a time, not
days.
