Message-ID: <damonC62Dqr.5G9@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1993 00:08:51 GMT Lines: 15 I am looking at buying a 486 machine but want to make sure it will run some "free" Unix before I do so. The machine I am looking at is a Packard Bell Legend 2276. This is a 486DX2/66 machine with a Local Bus SVGA HT216 video card, 540 MB disk, and a PS/2 mouse. I have good knowledge about Unix, but don't know much about PC's in general. Is anyone out there using this setup with 386bsd, NetBSD, or BSDI? I am most concerned about the video card and mouse working with X. Any help is appreciated. Damon Scaggs damon@netcom.com
