Don, That should be plenty for FreeBSD (or OpenBSD, NetBSD, or DragonFlyBSD) to run. Consequently, my first BSD machine was a Pentium 120 that lagged on most Linux distros at the time (tried RedHat, Debian, Mandrake, and others). Installed FreeBSD 2.2.8 on suggestion from a friend (3.0 had just been released and had problems with the hardware that were resolved in 3.1) and that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. -- Coleman Kanehelp
