On a related subject I have to decide between a 486DX4/100 and a
NexGen P90 (no FPU) for setting up a RedHat Linux system.  It's main
function will be as a file server running Samba.

Which will be better the 486DX/100 or the NexGen?

Also I have a choice of SCSI or IDE disks, SCSI will probably be a
2742 controller (VL-bus), again which will be better?  I am leaning
towards SCSI but I'm not totally convinced.

The system won't run X and does no dial-up, PPP or anything like that.
Just an SMB server and maybe some TCP/IP networking (Web server,
telnet into it, FTP, etc.).
