It's not well... my machine shadows.aeon.net started with 486/33 ISA (i had vlb slots, but not cards) and only 8MB ram and 25MB swap (i wanted more swap SO bad) and that machine did run nntpd (ok, so only one group, not too fast, but i had always atleast one nntp running to somewhere) and i had X on with few xterms... but i had to be careful not to open too many xterms... oh yes, i ran httpd too... only times when i realised it's a slow piece of shit were the times i were forced to 'make world' since _that_ lasted eternally... i think about like 30 hours, never got it clocked coz of the current's "features"... =) it was up over six months until i finally got it upgraded, p133/32M, for a while 64M, and after my old hd blew up, 72M swap, not that it does swap often... one interesting point, freebsd seemed to blow up a samsung ide 561MB in less than a year... *grin* all of it's life, the hd ran only freebsd... >cheers, J"org mickey
