This post will serve two purposes,
	1.It will hopefully generate a response that will tell me
	what I want to know.

	2.It will help other newbies figure out what the hell is
	going on here.

	(OH and if theres a faq, can someone tell me where?)

My questions are as follows:
	I'm a dos/os/2 user (translation:My drive is very full), I
	love unix (i'm a hacker, can you tell? =) and would love to
	have it on my 486 (who cares if I have to buy another hard
	drive (my 210 is really really full), can anyone spare
	$300?) (I say 486 because I hope that will take care of any
	questions about 'is my computer able to run it')). So I
	would like to know:
		1.How much disk space does it take?
		2.How easy/difficult is it to install?
		3.How much 'other' resources does it need?
		4.Now that i have it? wWHAT THE HELL DO I DO W/IT?!?
		 (NOTE:The response "anything you damn well please"
		       is not to be considered a legit one =) 

These seem to be fairly reasonable questions, I look forward to the
responses.
