So here is an aging machine for you...
32meg p90... just fast enough to run xmms :-)
Yes hard to believe I'm actually running a linux box at home.
I have a Pentium 233 MMX with 32MB ram and a 20GB disk that seems to do
fine recovering from a reboot.
It isn't really fast but it's a small MySQL database server that needs the
uptime more then it does speed. It will never be hit very hard.
I have not tried a 486 yet but I will see if it works someday. If I get
Mips on the Cobalt Qube2 going again I will test that one too :-)

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
