I've run X with 8Mb successfully both under NetBSD 0.9 and FreeBSD 1.0.2. I must say I have seen no significant differences in performances. The machine is barely usable (under X) when news batches are decompressed, but I guess it's more a disk interface problem (I use IDE) than lack of RAM. However, I'm looking forward to the VM improvements of FreeBSD 1.1. -- Pierre Beyssac FreeBSD@home: pb@fasterix.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux -- Il y a moins bien, mais c'est plus cher.
