There was a version of Xenix that ran on certain 80286 machines
back in the day, but it wasn't something that anyone would
want to use and Linux would have been about the same if
anyone had bothered to make it work.  There was such a
project: http://elks.sourceforge.net/ but I'm not sure if
it matters anymore.

Now that you mention it, I recall that. I recall when
Xenix 386 first came out. Xenix 386 was the second version
of Unix like OS I used, the first being Mt.Xinu in, umm,
1983?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
