I have a 386 AT compatable machine with 2 MB memory and an st-506 
(currently a too small 44 MB) hard disk.  I am interested in running
UNIX on this machine.  

Being a student, I don't have too much money, so I'm looking for a low-cost
solution.  I need to be able to run Gnu Emacs and TeX without too much
hassle.  I also need peaceful co-existance with DOS.  I don't need to try
to run DOS programs under UNIX, just read/write a dos partition and choose
either system at boot time (the second of which I gather is easy).

Can anyone offer suggestions or share their experiences?

Reply by mail and I will summerize.
