FreeBSD 4.7 just got released. Download the ISO (or two.. since the
live filesystem on disc two is useful :)

If you have to insist on using an Amiga-able BSD, NetBSD should be
just fine, but running it on something that slow really isn't useful.

People run around shouting about how they have their 486 Linux box
at home and it does this and that.. jesus.. it's slow as hell and
totally unuseful. Any system that is too slow to do SSH in "real
time" can't be very good in my book. I like characters to hit the
terminal when I type them, not 5 seconds later ;)

It got used, definitely. More than most. Had it for nigh on 6 years
now, and now it's dead.. well.. fuck it ;)

I'm getting a laptop and another peice of hardware which will more
than provide for it's "services".

Want another? :P

Not really, it's mostly gcc stuff, but it doesn't compile on non-Amiga
systems (since it references Amiga components etc.). There is a version
of Voyager that compiles on Linux (**NOT FOR** Linux) but.. it's a
completely different kettle of fish.

A couple of hours, for large values of couple, I'd say about 18-20. The
bottleneck is disk speed even on a PPC. ixemul doesn't help.
