Warehouse chain. I can't use that to develop UnixWare software. In fact, I *did* install (Debian) Linux on the system, just to make sure that it wasn't some silly boot problem. I also installed NetBSD, all on the same partition (overwriting the previous ones, of course). NetBSD had the nicest install, but Debian was alright as well, though it's a pain that Linux needs one (Microsoft) partition per file system or swap. Both NetBSD and Linux installed and booted fine. They also booted from CD-ROM, while UnixWare required no fewer than 3 boot floppies, which had to be made from the CD-ROM.
