Hi Micheal, I'm running FreeBSD on a Pentium 2-400/128MB, a Celeron 566/128MB and on a 486 DX2-66/16MB. FreeBSD runs fine on the 486, but X (with KDE and Netscape 4.x) is horrible. Very slow. It takes a few minutes to startup X, KDE and Netscape. But once Netscape is running, the speed is `acceptable'. So it can be used to visit internet sites (HotMail mainly), but don't expect too much of the graphical part. I think your harddisk is too small if you want to run X, but if you don't, then it should be just fine.
