shame.  that woulda been neat.  i'm gunnin' to get 2.11BSD on the /83, but i

you reminded me of a pathetic machine i used to own.  386sx16, 2MB ram, linux
0.99.15, ran X for about 20 minutes.  went out, bought 6MB RAM, and ran X on
it for a LONG time.  then i got my sparc5, and never touched that thing again.
