Greetings. I got this email address out of the FreeBSD Newsletter, issue#1.
I'm not sure if you're the right guys to address such a query to so if this
seems out of place I apologize, but perhaps you can direct it to the right
folks.
I've got an old P1 135 (I think, may be 125, can't remember), 1.7G HD, 32M
RAM...in short, a dinosaur. I want to experiment with FreeBSD and would like to
do so on a machine that is non-critical so I have time to learn it without being
under the gun. I was reading in the newsletter that Dave Filo was using BSD on
an old (probably wasn't old back in '97, haha!) P100, 32M RAM machine and that
the release number for BSD then was 2.2 STABLE (what is "stable", or was that an
aside by the author?). I've seen FreeBSD releases in the somewhat recent past at
3.4 I believe, and it has me wondering: will an older machine like mine
will be large enough to handle the newer releases?
Thanks much for taking time out to consider this email. 'Hope you guys had
a great Thanksgiving and will have a great holiday season.
Regards,
Paul Adams
