I'm Joe User a f@#$ing newbie, I only have a f#$%ing 286 so I write to freebsd-questions and ask'em "Ho guys what kind of UNIX *can* I run on my wonderful 286", and get no answer. When I buy a P100 I will go *for sure* to the linux mailing lists where people is so kind to give advise to me, poor owner of a 286. Sorry Jordan, this time you're wrong, IMHO.
