Well, I've got it on a 4MB 386sx/16 downstairs, which I used quite
frequently ~6 months ago... Worked great, especially considering I
limited it to ~70MB hdd space. It did crash, though, if I tried logging
in 5 different times simultaneously... Other than that, it was just
slow. Even had a fake dumb terminal hooked up to it.
