True, but not 3.1.. 3.1 can run in standard mode on 286's so it rules that
out. Although, for 286's and XT's MINIX may be an option, although ELKS is
starting to look good, "The Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset a.k.a.
Linux/8086".

Certaintly.. Although appletalk leaves a few messy files around your
harddrive for forking and stuff. Although, I suppose if you can change the
source, so the files have a . before them, then nobody will be able to see
them :-)

Yes me too, our helpful administrator wrote in a request for me, and I now
have my own subnet. Makes thing a heck of alot easier.

Also, you said "non-technical housemate" .. Don't you live with Darren, or

btw: if there's one good about the Linux usenet groups, is they actually
quote correctly.. something invaluable I've learnt from Fidonet :-)

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
