This is fine for FreeBSD 4.11, yes it will take a long
time to build a kernel, but not more than 24 hours. You
also get some valuable lessons in space planning on a
hard disk.
The original PDP-11 only had 64k (that's k, not meg) of
ram I believe.

If it is only for cli
and learning programming,
I'd suggest to install FreeBSD 4.11.
All you need (gcc, perl, python, vim/emacs)
is readyly available from
the original install cd #1.
I had a comparable box running as
a samba fileserver under FreeBSD and
even could run a make world
