No, 8-P
I have ONLY a Laptop Toshiba 486/DX50 with 12 MB of memory
which is now 13 years old :-)
It runs Woody with Linux 2.4.27, vga16fb and fvwm 2.5.12
Installation requires arround 1-5 days...
> some useful applications on that? I am not afraid that twm, icewm, fluxbox
Generaly I use only the console with mutt, ssh, zgv, ...
The fvwm is only for bad looking guys over my sholder!
Oh yes, I run LILO with a RLE-Image on boottime...
So I can choose "privatenet", "dhcp", "work", ...
Nobody beleave, tat it can be done with this crappy looking
OS :-P with endless scrolling textscreens....
