I believe it was mentioned aways back in the message stream, but perhaps

it's worth reconsidering at this juncture...


Keep the low emi/rfi 386 machine user-proximity but convert it to an X

server with the more capable X client (app server) machine farther away.

I know that other distros have dropped actual 386 CPUs from their

I've heard is that the amount of memory required is too much for any

remaining actual 386 boxes to actually have.


I know that my old PS/2 Model 70-A21 was a 386 with 4 MB Ram (at $1K per

MB) and I think it could take a maximum 16 MB (but my memory from 1988

is very fuzzy).  Where there any 386 boxes that could take 32MB ram, and

do any still exist?
