RE: [MLUG] 486SX lease on life?

["Boaz, Kevin" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I don't know about the SX, but I set up a 486DX2-66 w/12mb RAM, VESA-LB video card, 2GB HD, IDE CD-ROM, and a 10mbs NIC with Slackware 7.0.  I decided not to setup and GUI.  Have Apache w/SSL and MySQL setup on it also.  Setup the HD with 3 partitions.  2 partitions set at 1GB with the 3rd setup as a 80mb swap.  A little slow, but does the job for me at this point. If you want to setup one as a router/firewall, check out www.freesco.org .  Their version will run w/8mb and off a 3.5 floppy.  Can be installed onto a hd formated with a dos partition.  But one will never know, until one tries.

My wife & I (well, me mostly) have become proud owners of our parents'
old 486SX'es (2). I've heard you can make a workable Linux box with a
486DX >= 8 MB. How 'bout the SX?  Would I be wasting my time?
	Thanks,
