I would like to ensure that the firewall and PPP is kept up to date and bug free as the machines will be on net 100% of time. This 486 will only be running PPP, gateway and firewall, so I'm hoping memory wont be too much of a problem. If I did install 3.5.1, I would still like to track 3, which due to drive space/proc power/memory, would be extremely tedious/impossible on the machine itself! Also, it's nice to work on machine at exactly the same revision so configs, etc, are in the same places and take the same args.
