Just to boast...

I just installed Linux on a 333 Celeron processor and am overclocking it to
550MHz (5x112MHz) on a 100MHz Asus motherboard with 512Mb RAM.  It has a
Adaptec 2940UW scsi controller running Ultra Wide Connectors to two 9.2Gb UW
7200 rpm SCSI DISKS.  Oh and it has a Glint 4000 video card just for fun.

Not that I have any need for this.. I just wanted to see what Linux would do
under these circumstances.  The box compiled the 2.0.35 Kernel, with
modules,  in just under 5 seconds.  I was amazed!

By the way.. it is still slow running NT server.

p.s. Don't try this at home.. the box sounds like a jet aeroplane with three
fans in it!
