But what about this? I've just upgraded my old notebook to 2.2. It's a sluggish old 386/sx16, with just 5 MB RAM only, the bare minimum being supported by sysinstall these days. Now i'm compiling a custom kernel on it, and get occasional sig 4's, sig 10's, and sig 11's on it. The thing is, this box has been running FreeBSD for at least two years now flawlessly. Sure, the machine is already fairly loaded with just compiling a kernel (there are ~ 6 MB in the swap partition). But again, it used to work well previously... I even used to run Emacs under X11 on it, and that was at least the same load. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
