Hi,
anybody still has the install media for that?
We used it in the office long ago, but I lost the install disk in my 
last moving :(

THANKS!

I don't think I ever saw Esix hands on, but if memory serves, we at Dell 
considered Esix the most serious & respectable rival to our SVR4. Dell 
SVR4 images are readily available at various places. See

I liked that one in your notes:
"Dell SVR4 finally seemed like real UNIX on a PC" :)
