Clearly, what is really needed is for someone to do a 386 virtual machine, so that you all can run all the different flavors of free/cheap *NIX's at the same time. Then it won't matter which is best--you'll have them all. Include in your virtual hardware a virtual ethernet card so that you can network the operating systems together. (This, of course, assumes that the 386 can be virtualized. I've heard it claimed that this is not possible--I think there was some problem with virtualizing the MMU--but the person who told me this never got around to giving me the copy of the paper he had received that discussed it. Anyone know more about this?) --Tim Smith
