Some years ago I had some Compudyne 486 systems with 32M ram and 500M ish disks that I stuffed OpenBSD on and it ran very well. I had one serve a few installation files to Windows machines I was building up. The other was the start of running a small job every night to look at some data that would be fed to it each morning. I lost that machine in my office, buried in piles of junk, and found it again after it had 900+ days of uptime. It was still running, processing the same data over and over again since its network cable was unplugged. Sadly, I killed it when arranging power cords. --STeve Andre'
