Sorry to make you snort this morning - hope you didn't have a mouthful
of coffee at the time...



What do you want/need on the system? Are you compiling, and/or running
a d/b, and/or running apache, or do you have some proprietary bloatware
that eats resources?

Well, ultimately, what I want to do with this machine (once I see if I
can add some memory and perhaps get a bit larger disk drive) is to a)
use it with a wifi card to surf the internet, b) compile some C
applications, c) do some development in Tcl.

Remember, you can still d/l a linux that runs on a 486, and maybe even
a 386.

Hmm - I don't think I ever knew that, so I can't remember it. Perhaps
there is some place a level 1 novice can go to learn the basics like
that?
