Here's its specs: : : i386DX-25 MHz : 4 MB RAM (May go to 8 MB if needed) better use 8 MB.... : 83 MB IDE HD (Another bottleneck) its ok. I use FreeBSD 2.1.7 on an old 386SX-25 Laptop with 6 MB and a 80 MB Disk. 80MB ist enough for the basic system and the man pages. I use this system as an ppp and uucp system. The system is far from being fast, but it gives me a stable internet connection when I am away. Things like groff take ages but they work.
