A few months ago I had Linux 0.96c installed on my 386-25.  I had a 40 meg 
partition for Linux and an 8 meg partition for swapping.  I have since then 
removed Linux and used the space for more needed projects, but I would love 
to hear briefly how the sucker is getting along.

To help whoever replies to this out:

1.  Is there a nice comm program for it yet with szrz ?
2.  Is X running better (ack, I remember that dang clock.exe program and 
all of those settings for my monitor and card. ewwww)
3.  Has someone made a GIF viewer yet?
4.  How's the TCP/IP coming ?

Out of curiosity, how well does stuff written for unix compile over on 
Linux?  Is it a major hassle for non-graphics apps?  

One more thing, I still only use DOS because of Windows apps that I do work 
in such as CorelDraw and Word 2.0.  I would REALLY like to be able to 
convert my work to something on a unix platform (for very little cost) and 
start using a unix OS completely.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
What about 386BSD ?

Thanks for your time!
