Hi, I have a 486DX4-100 which I would like to use as a 'remote' terminal system for my main machine (which is a dual PPro 200 running 3.0-CURRENT). The 486 has 16Mb of RAM and a Trident (!Chipset forgotten - but supported by SVGA X-Server!) VESA Local bus card. The machine has a 1Gb IDE drive. Is this machine going to be fast enough for me to run as an X-Server display for programs started on my machine machine? I'll probably be using Netscape mainly + a few other programs / utilities... I guess if the software is running on the big one, 16Mb of RAM should be enough for the X-Server? Any comments? (Apart from 'buy a new machine? <G>) Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
