I was thinking of putting Slowlaris on a Pentium (no pro or numbers), but when I looked at the "supported hardware[0]" list at Sun I was not encouraged. The lowest end chip I recall was P-MMX 200[1]. I don't know if Solaris will run on a 486... or if it does if it would even be usable. ObFreeBSD: I don't know how the Solaris boot works on i386, so I can't help with the dual boot. [0] Actually a compatible or "successfully attempted on" list. The URL, http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/index.html#S8 [1] Does such a beast even exist? 200 MHz plain Pentiums? -- Crist J.
