Well, it all depends of the work you have to get done. E.g. I outfitted my 386 to be a firewall and it serves that purpose very well. Having said that, a) where in my post did I say that I don't consider a 386 to be a fast machine (which, is true, I don't think it's a fast machine), and b) what kind of bogus arguement is that anyway? It's obviously not fast enough to install Debian, so you get a bigger machine for the job. Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
