We have a collection of 8Meg 340 diskless which can just about run hpux plus the Xserver - but not much more. However they might run better with a slimmed down OS and X server (overhead of restarting the X server is important in heavy use student environment - also, it is very nice to have XIDLE extension ) Is anyone running X on hp 300 with BSD ? how ? -- Brian Bullen.
