I have some old 386 30Mhz, 486 100Mhz machines with 4 MB of RAM and 50 - 100 MB of
HDD with ethernet card, on which I would like to run Linux with X server (for X
terminals). I know that that is difficult, but I have fast ethernet, so for HDD, the
NFS would be a solution. But I also think that installing an older version of Debian
would be much better (because I think that older versions of programs require less
memory and CPU than newer versions), but I don't know if that is possible. Can I
install perhaps Debian 1.0 by dselect from net? So, I would put InstallFloppy in,run
computer, then run dselect (or apt-get) and instal Debian - is that realistic? Well,
I hope it is.
Any links about setting up X terminals?
Thank you for all!
Bye,
Ales Jerman
