Howdy.  I'm sure that this has been hashed over a million times, but here
goes:

I'm going to be buying a 486DX33 or maybe 50.  I would like to be able to
have 3 partitions (386BSD, OS/2 and DOS/Windows) and be able to boot
off of any of the OSes.

Questions:

-What SVGA card should I get?  I'm leaning towards the Tseng ET4000 local
bus.
-Has anybody done 386BSD X11R5 patch level 13???  Will the Tseng ET4000 work?
-How stable is the latest 386BSD?
-GNU (C, emacs, Perl, bash, epoch, ...) available for 386 BSD???
-How is Linux?  PD?  Source available?  MIT (freely avail) X11R5pl13
available for it?

			Thanks, Ralph
