Hi there!

I got a very old 386 machine and I didn't know what to do with it ;) I
thought about using it as a tiny GNU/Linux router but I figured out that
it is actually not capable of such a task..

So I decided to use it as a terminal and for log output for my GNU/Linux
workstation. I am still not sure what to install on its disk; since I am
very interested in the Hurd it would be nice to see this cool OS running
on this machine.

Do you think these 16 MB are able to run the Hurd? Or should I stop
wasting my time by installing a small BSD'ish OS? :)

Thanks for any comment, J

Note: I'm using a lotus notes so I hope it's not set as html format

Have you tried Freesco? I used to run it on an old 486sx 4MB ram as a
router it's not a 386 but maybe it will still work.
