Re: [newbie] Linux for 486
I've run Caldera (can't remember the version) on a 486/25 with a 640Meg harddrive and 16 meg of ram. KDE worked o.k. for me, and the system was faster than 3.1 and way faster than W95 (which I once tried on that machine). With 4meg of ram, I just don't think you'll be able to run any windowmanager except maybe blackbox or windowmaker. KDE and Gnome are out of the question. dison Andrs wrote: Hello everybody.
