Where to obtain HP-UX for used lxr-8500

[Colin J. Raven]

I think the subject line says most of it, but here's the rest.
I bought a used LXR8500 at auction. This machine is far beyond anything I've ever seen before (only dealt with PC servers previously) and I still have a lot of learning to do. A *really* good manual would surely help to begin with.
I want to run "Navision Financials" (like Great Plains but IMHO way better) on this box. It will run under "HP-UX 10 or better"
Where can I buy/obtain HP-UX in the US?
If anyone can help I'd surely appreciate it.

The LXR8500 is Netsrevr PC, not and HP 9000 system.
It will not run HP-UX at all.

Hi,

HP-UX only run on RISC-based systems not INTEL-based systems. On INTEL-based systems, Linux and BSD-variants is the way to go if you are looking for Unix-alike OSes. Solaris also runs on INTEL but it comes with a price tag.

Hope this helps. Regards.
