I don't know about that. Like I said before apache runs ok on the 8mb machine until I run some cgi/perl script. It was even worse when I had slackware and then redhat on the machine. Even a 486DX2 was sluggish until I went from 8mb to 12mb. I suppose I could eliminate some daemons to free up memory, but that would take away from the joy of running linux. I find that the 386 w/8mb works well as a combination router, firewall, file server, print server, and more. It will run X if you don't mind the startup time. Maybe there are a few tweaks I need to try. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
