hehe. I did the same thing (and actually used it for a while!). Slow, but
useable. The same machine ran, at various stages, MS-DOS 5.0, MS-DOS 6.2,
Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, various Windows 95 betas, Windows
95, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, OS/2 2.1 and Warp 3.0 (and Warp 3.0 beta)
and 3 different Linux distributions. At one time I think it had five OSs
installed concurrently (all managed via OS/2 Boot Manager and later System
Commander). 

Today (with 32M RAM), it's acting as my home firewall, running FreeBSD
3.5-STABLE.  *sigh* So many memories :)
