As part of some talks about about a NY BSD users group I found a technical school using NetBSD. They mentioned a project of converting a number of old 486s to NetBSD. One of the topics that came up was which BSD would need less resources and run best with old hardware (assuming both Free/Net would install). From what I gather the project will be making the old 486s Xterminals. Could this be something that could be done with PicoBSD? Also what would me a MINIMUN usable amount of memory to run X. 16MB? These are computers other departments were throwing out so I don't think they have much of a budget to go around upgrading memory. I have always wanted to take a look at the other BSDs so I am looking forward to help them and see how NetBSD compares. They are also doing a BSD lab which sounds like it would be interesting too (research, students and faculty connectivity to the network...). I was very please to read from them all they are doing with BSDs. Although NetBSD seems their primary BSD they also have some FreeBSDs (although it seemed it was just a couple of them).
