Until then I was happily running > 4.10-stable on it and using it as a firewall/gateway. The question isn't would someone want to run FreeBSD on an 80386. The question is would one actually want to run RELENG_5 or 6-CURRENT on an 80386 given how much a dog it will be. I don't think the pro-80386 arguers have any idea how slow 5.3 is on a 80386. I think you would have quickly down-graded back to 4-STABLE on your 80386 after using 5.3 on it for a week. David Schultz summerized things nicely above. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
