I've got some replies and it seems I need get FreeBSD, NetBSD, or
NetBSD-0.9 because I need to make some net on my system. I don't
afraid for some difficulties with installation process (Linux
is easy to install), but I want to have stable and mature code.
 Now I have next questions :
do I need to get a 486 PC, or I can use 386/SX/33-50 PC ?
how march memory (4%8%16 MB RAM) shoud I have at first (it will be
   increased later) ?
do I have to get Co-processor, or it does not necessary (if I will not
use it with my own purpose ) ?
how could I get XWindows for currently choosed system ?


  I'll be very glad to get some more responses !
  Nickolai.
