I had 486dx2 66Mhz with 8 MB and I got X running - worked much better than Win95 with the same machine , and I even made some 3D desing and rendering. - but I didn't have anykind of network installed. Now I got 486Dx2 80Mhz 24MB and it runs X just fine. (however I'm planning to buy some new hardware - maybe 166mhz pentium and a scsi harddisk - I am running out of disk space and I can't play mp3's because of a lazy CPU) Jukka Simila To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
