Everyone will laugh at this, but I have an old box with a 25mHz processor or so. It has 8mB of memory. I want to install some type of UNIX clone on it, as a proof of concept. I don't care if it's linux, freebsd, or something else, but I need something that will run with enough speed to run an sshd and not much else. It will just be to prove that old hardware can still be used. Any suggestions?
Haven't booted it in a long time but have FreeBSD 2.1.0 or 2.1.5 on a 16 MHz 386sx16 with 4 MB of RAM.
Has an 8 bit NE2000 NIC which required the NFS window be reduced to 1k or so. I used this as a "portable FreeBSD netinstall box" back in the bad old days before I could afford a CD-R, or even have CD-ROM on many machines.
