Hello,
  I am trying to decide on a new pc on which to place either linux or bsd386
on.  I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the gateway 2000
66-mhz system.  ie does linux or bsd386 have any problems with these systems?
Or does anyone out there have a better sugeestion for a system (dx2 66 mhz is
the speed we need).  Also how does Dos6 behave with either system on the
same disk?
  I want to net said system and be able to mount a 1 gig and a 2.1 gig disk
on a SGI crimson using NFS.  Linux proports to do this, has anyone tried
it and with what results?  Also can bsd386 do this?

Thanks in advance,
Hoa Ton-That
