SubjectRe: Linux Runs on 386 Sx 16 - 2MB RAM !!!

I though Linux was the *bomb* when I started running it..

386dx33/8(+387).. Kernel .12.. (Though I didn't use it much till .99)

I think ram is an important thing though.. I've used it on 4meg boxes
(like a 386sx/10 *underclocked*) and it was annoyingly slow..
