Date: 16 May 1996 10:16:02 +0200 Organization: PUM => Private Unix Machines Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4neo82$2c6@bullet.oh.sub.org> Reply-To: bullet.rhein-neckar.de!berni NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.rhein-neckar.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi there, I wanna run an Unix System on an old Compaq Porty Machine. This is a 386/25 with only 4 megs of ram and a small 40 MB Harddisk. The machine doesn't offer any expansion slots, so networking seems to be impossible ( or will a parallel adapter work ?). can anybody recommend an operating system for this machine? the Compaq is only for use in the garden or on the veranda and write some text and a little bit for simple c-programming. thx berni -- ------------------------------------------------------ | Berni Ernst - berni@bullet.rhein-neckar.de | | Phone +49 6401 / 2 18 36 | ------------------------------------------------------
