Date: 16 Mar 1994 16:56:02 GMT Organization: Elvis+, Ltd. Lines: 17 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2m7dn2$de8@rivendell.elvis.msk.su> Reply-To: gatemast@elvis.msk.su NNTP-Posting-Host: gates.elvis.msk.su 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.
