I remember trying Slackware in 1994 with my flatmate on a 486 from a stack of floppies. Reading the numbers off the graphics chip to add in to the xfree86 config file and then finding that X would not run much more than xeyes with 4MB of ram. Those were the days. I also had it up and running on my amiga (watchtower file system) around the same time with kernel using FPU emulation as I couldn't afford a 68882. -J
