(I run linux because I like it.  I don't run win95 'cause it's sh*t).

FWIW, I'm running linux on a 386DX33 with 8Mb ram.  It runs just
great.  Running X or any other graphics is a little frustrating though :)

I had it installed on a 200Mb drive.  Not really enough for doing
full-on things (like keeping source code etc).  (I got a new 1.28Gb
now).

[Yeah, I know... I need a new motherboard.  Anyone know where I can
get a 486dx4-100 m/b with >=256k cache, vlb/isa slots, and will take
either 30pin or 72pin simms, for less than $300?  I'll buy it right
away! :-]

Cheers
Tony
