	Would it be possible to run FreeBSD/XFree86 (or are they the same?)
on a 286 box with 2meg?  I'm not looking to use it as my primary OS, I want
to look at it before I put anything on the 486 that'll hopefully be here
soon..  Before I download x meg, could someone tell me if BSD or any other,
free, Unix/clone will work on a 286?
