Although it isn't linux, it is BSD. I have it running on a 386sx-16 with 4megs of ram and 100 megs of diskspace, with a couple of utilities and about 30 megs of web page. You probably won't be able to fit to much extra stuff on there though (emacs, xwindows), but you can get most of the good stuff. But whatever, it is always worth a shot because it is fun. IMHO. -taco On Sat, 14 Feb 1998 Bagelboyj@aol.com wrote: > > Hello, I found your e-mail address on the web. I have am using a 486 dx33 PC > with 8 MB of ram and 150MB of leftover.
