Message-ID: <1995May6.213723.874@gems.vcu.edu> Date: 6 May 95 21:37:23 -0400 Organization: Medical College of Virginia Lines: 22 Hello! Just picked up an old 3/50 box, (okay, okay, quit snickering) and would like to stick Netbsd on it for fun...I have a Linux box at home which seems to work pretty well..My questions are these: 1. Are there certain machine requirements to make it run good? 2. Am I kidding myself to expect any kind of reasonable performance from this old Sun box? 3. Is ther a FAQ that would answer my questions better? Any comments, answers, flames, etc. are welcome! Thanks, Nick A. NAPPLEGATE@gems.vcu.edu
