  I run 2.0.35 on a Gateway P2-400 256meg ram, 14.4gig UDMA drive and
Diamond GL1000 AGP card, 3com 3c905B . It runs X and it smokes!  Even
the crappy Gateway sound card works (Winmodem does not work).  It NFS
mounts IRIX 5.2 SGI Indy and HP 9.05 HP9000 and SMB for NT laptops.
Works great and is the fastest and most stable machine there.
