Slivko If it makes any difference to know this, I am writing this mail on a PC running 5.0-CURRENT on a Pentium 133, with exactly that amount of RAM. Yes, FreeBSD runs like a charm on my hardware.

For the rest of my every day work, I am pretty satisfied with screen running on my /dev/ttyv1 :-) - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
