I like Linux price already ;-) It requires an ISA or EISA system with at least a 386SX and 4M RAM. I don't know about disk space, but I have still >20M free on my 64M Linux partition. And I installed several goodies, like Emacs and it's info files, UUCP and News, which consume considerable amounts of harddisk space. The MCC interim release is 5x1.2M disks of which one boot-disk. So I guess the base installation takes about 15M. This gives you a very complete system with C, C++, make, vi (no emacs), sh, getty, shoelace (to boot it from HD), etc. >------------------------------+ "Que viva el OS/2!" If you already have OS/2, then you have more than enough recourses for Linux! Greetings, Peter Busser
