Another unsolicited plug for Linux - hit 'n' now... :)

: I can't check it because I don't have it.  Even though I have a 77mb

: surprised when I found out I had to get all of the 386BSD source just
: to rebuild kernels!)

The latest linux kernel (0.97-pl2) fits on one 1.44 MB diskette with room to
spare.  All you need is on the diskette (minus gcc, of course).

The mcc-interim release of linux (which includes gcc and a lot of binaries)
fits on 5 diskettes. :)
