Well, start porting :-). Linux doesn't run on VAXen, and I presume it never
will. The netBSD people are at it, however (it already runs on older VAXen
like the 11/780, AFAIR), you'd better keep an eye on them if you want to run a
free Unix on a muVAX.
Porting Linux on VAX would be very well possible, but because VAXen aren't
built anymore, they are either slower than a cheap PC, or they need
airconditioning and a special deal with your electricity supplier :-).
Personally, I'd go for a stripped down version of Ultrix (you can probably buy
second-hand licenses all over the place) and the whole load of GNU software.
This should make a workable system, I think.
