Hi i was wondering if it would be a good idea, to buy a cheezy 
386 computer stick 8 megs of Ram in it and a small, lets say 200 meg HD 
in it. For those of u who know can u please tell me if I would be able 
to run X window's on it and also would it be super slow to run that kind 
of Graphical OS with a 386 processor.

	I tried installing LInux on the system I have now, only I can't 
find a CD-ROM driver that matches my Sony CDU 55E drive so i can't 
install it from CD-ROM.  I tried installing it from my other HD 
partition which was running 3.1 and that didn't work either.

	I think part of the problem is I am running a Hard Drive utility 
program that allows my BIOS to recognize my full 2 Gig Hd(I have an 
older 486). Which is partioned 3 ways C:\win95 D:\win31 and E:\(supposed 
to be LINUX).

	Please E-mail any suggestions paolo@interlog.com
