It is silly to expect to run a wm like gnome on a 486. wordperfect and netscape 3.04 runs great on the 486 with 16 megs of ram and not swap. (I was really short on disk space 6 megs free now) Remeber this is for schools, where some places would be lucky to have a pentuim. Let alone a P II. Then again for my uses I don't find a 486 good enough for a web server for me. But think about it, if you had to use a 486 DX 66 with 16 megs ram 200 meg hd. Which would you chose a windows 95 / 98 or linux running as a X termial? I have tried Corel wp7 for windows and netscape 3.04 on this config. And it REALLY sucks. Where as running it off another computer is ALOT faster. > I wouldn't be very happy using it as my primary machine.
