Debian works just fine. It's those darn applications. I'm running a 486-66 with 16 MB RAM, EGA video and 500MB of disk space (only 40% used) and it is solid as a web and mailing list server plus ham radio packet gateway. It's in a remote location and doesn't have X installed (hint, hint). Bob -- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
