i believe there is variatns for the 286, but cant imagine there being any for the 8088 and 8086 there just isn't enough memory to do anything useful on those machines. i remember my 286 had 4MB of ram, combined with swap it could do some stuff in linux im sure(never tried)
minix was probably 386 and higher as well, as i imagine there are too many restraints on the design on anything less then 386 that make it hard to program something like an OS for. nate On Sun, 9 Jan 2000, Fish Smith wrote: dyson_ >I know that the intel version of Linux is written for dyson_ >80386 up.
