It has 8mB of memory. I want to install some type of UNIX clone on it, as a proof of concept. I don't care if it's linux, freebsd, or something else, but I need something that will run with enough speed to run an sshd and not much else. It will just be to prove that old hardware can still be used. Any suggestions?
