Tell that to the 486sx/33 box sitting next to me booting off a floppy. :) :) :) Everything runs fine, although I wouldn't call it 'multi-user', I can have one user login to the box and run tcpdump OR ping OR traceroute. However, if another user tries to login (at the console or remotely), it kills the new login process for using up too much memory. (The box is running 4.5PRE-PicoBSD!)
