hi -> Even as a work station linux works fine on 486 hardware. Your basing your -> argument on what you view as a "workstation." Howeve, without X a -> 486/66 does fine depending on it's purpose. You certainly don't need -> pentium power to run vi, lynx, and elm. What else do you need? :> While -> I didn't try it, I'm guessing a 486 could be used as a slow, but viable, -> devel system also.
I am running slink on 5x86/100, 32 megs of RAM and I quite like it. I'd like to have 48 megs just because I run samba and NFS and wannna to have some services on it. I use netscape (4.6 now) and i had staroffice installed but i removed it cause i didn't like it... Now, the only one problem I have is - i can't play mp3's ;) 5x86/100 should play with CPU load around %70 (at least this is what i've been told ;)) OK
