   Dear M[sr]. Lawson

   I just upgraded from a 386DX-25 on which I'd been running Linux (Debian
0.96R6) with no problem.  I had 4 MB RAM and an aged RLL hard drive (100 MB).
X would run, but so slowly that I didn't bother with it (but I also had a
non-accelerated ISA video card with a whole 512 kbyte RAM).  It wasn't a
screamer, but I found it acceptable for TeX, mail, and occasional hacking.
Other reports say that with more RAM (>= 8 MB), even X is OK.

   I had to upgrade because it wouldn't run my 5-year-old daughter's
educational games :-).

   Hope this helps.
