Yeah, when I last tinkered with Linux in 1996 I ran it on a 486DX-50. It ran 
well enough, but then I wasn't running X (I could never get it to drive the 
VGA card or monitor properly).

As it turns out, the Vectra is actually a P-120. I have another old (home 
built) P-90, which I'm thinking about setting up as a firewall, maybe....

Noooo...!

A shell prompt will be more than sufficient for my purposes at the moment; 
though being able to log in remotely from my M$ box would be immensely 
useful.
