Hi there,
 I have the following hardware/software with me:
                   
   An AT-compatible machine with 486-33Mhz CPU running Dos 5.0. It has
 4-megs of RAM and 200-Megs of space on the hard drive. In addition, I also
 have a color super VGA monitor and a Canon BJ-10ex printer. 
  
 I recently went through the FAQ which listed various tex related software,
and where one could get it. However, I didn't find any recommendations as to
what tex package is most suitable for what machine(8086, 80286, 80386,...).    

 To those of you, who have used Tex/LaTex on AT-compatible machines, my 
question is:

   What Tex package would utilize the above mentioned machine configuration to
its maximum possible extent?? I am mostly interested in LaTex packages
available in public domain.  

 thanks a lot
