I'm running BSD/386 on two machines, 1 with 4 MB the other with 16. I don't run an X server on the 4 MB machine and compiles are considerably slower (but it is also a 40 MHz '386, the 16 MB machine is a 50 MHz '486) but it runs fine. My personal feeling is that you want at least 8 MB, unless you run X then 16 or more is nice. But with 4 MB it beats a lot of Vaxen I've known. -- wobble@teleport.COM Public Access User --- Not affiliated with TECHbooks Public Access UNIX and Internet at (503) 220-0636 (1200/2400, N81)
