Date: 19 Sep 1995 12:59:09 +0100 Organization: Dept. of Maths, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Lines: 14 Message-ID: <43mbad$fj3@bell.maths.tcd.ie> NNTP-Posting-Host: bell.maths.tcd.ie Is a 486DX66 with 4MB enough to run a real system? I have no intention to run X on it, though I would like to be able to run some compilations. It wouldn't be on the net so there would be almost no daemons running. There would be at most two simultaneous users. Would it work at all, or do I absolutely need 8MB?
