Hi,

I've successfully installed FreeBSD-2.1.5 on a 486 SX 25 with 4 MB RAM
and 120 MB HD laptop.
I was wondering if an upgrade to FreeBSD 3-STABLE or 4-STABLE would be
interesting. What are the benefits ?
Will it run faster, or has FreeBSD became bigger and bigger and slower
and slower during the last 5 years ?

The upgrade is possible by mounting the /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS.
I've already recompiled the kernel that way, so I know it works :)

Thanks,

lucas
