Hello,

I've got a 486DX4-100 with 32 MB ram, ISA bus, with two drives: 840 MB
and 1280 MB IDE.  Currently running Debian GNU/Linux Sarge.

Box has two uses:  

        under normal cirumstance, as a thin client to my
        athlon box elsewhere in the house.

        As a toolbox incase anything goes wrong with my new athlon, I
        still can dial out to the net for help and downloads.

Debian Etch will need more than 32 MB ram so am starting the planning.

I've compared Open-, Net-, and Free-BSD (via google search and reading
the three web-sites) and like the security-by-default nature of Open-
and its reputation for solid documentation.  I'm used to the command
line (hate GUI) and vi.

Is there any reason that OpenBSD wouldn't be my best choice for this
box?

Thanks,

Doug.
