Re: Can HP-UX run on Pentium Processor

No, never has, almost certainly never will (note, this is not an official statement on behalf of HP...).
See http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1023166 for more discussion (but basically repeating the same answer), and an answer if what you want to do is get some hands-on experience of HP-UX.

Wikipedia has a nice summary of all the versions and what hardware they supported - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX

You can obtain Solaris 10, Solaris Express, or OpenSolaris for x86-32 and x86-64 for free,
if this is a comforting alternative to you.
(well and of course myriads of Linux distros and not to forget {Free,Open,Net}BSD.
