anyone have any recommendations for a PC based UNIX OS to run X and GRASS ?

I checked prices on SCO and Interactive, and they're too expensive (+ 1000$).

I'm checking to see if there are any alternatives in the 500$ range ? The
real killer is the development kits to compile (~700$)

any feedback is appreciated !

  Get Linux ... it's free, include X11R5, development system .. tcp/ip,
  nfs ... and more. Even Grass 4.1 has already been ported.

Linux is available on the net or from Yggdrasil Computing at
yggdrasil@netcom.com or P.O. Box 8414, Berkeley CA 94707-8418,(510) 526-7531.
It costs $60 dollars and you get all the stuff mentioned above. You would
need to get Motif to compile GRASS or perhaps talk the folks that did
the Linux port to give you the binaries. Motif for Linux is
available from 2 companies and runs about $150.

Good luck,
