Actually, I have a Pentium 75 machine also, but this one is dedicated to Win95 and have stuff I need daily in it. I setup my 386DX25 machine so that I can play to my heart's content and if I mess up anything, there is no big deal. I have some experience with SCO Unix but nothing with BSD. I wanted to have a machine I can do anything whatsoever.... When 2.2 SNAP becomes the standard distribution, I will upgrade. Until then, I will just play. My goal is to setup this machine to dial up ppp to my ISP and provide Internet services to my IBM/RT and Win95 machines here. Sort of like being my own ISP to my other machines. That is possible right??? (RT is an IBM's RISC based Unix machine. It is not capable of PPP or slip with chat script - basically, it needs eithernet connection)
