I just installed SuSE 6.1 on a 386SX-20 MHz w/ 7.5 MBytes. The
performance is terrible! (But then, so is DOS on this machine!)
I had some trouble since SuSE kept complaining about not having enough
swap memory. it told me to IMMEDIATELY go to another window (Alt-F2)
and "reallocate some swap space". I didn't have a clue how to do this,
so I just ignored the message and proceeded. It took a while to get it
loaded, but it worked.
I'm using this machine as a Samba print server, and it is working fine.
Good luck!
