Re: What good is a 486?
A friend of mine on dorm floor had a prolinea 466... We installed linux on it. It
was our floor print spooler, a handy email station. We even had X running on it,
although we think the memory we aded was bad, cause it started crashing a lot after
we added it. But it can do somethings.
