Well here is my system:  486 DX2/66 w/ 16 megs ram
                         1.3 GIG SCSI Hard Drive

                         250 meg tape drive
                         15" SVGA monitor

I am going to be running netBSD .09 on 1 GIG space.  The rest is 
dos/windows development.  I dont play games or other crap only have ms 
word 6.0 and the microsoft c/c++ 7.0 compiler and windows sdk development 
for school.  

As for the power of UNIX...shit I ran ATT SYS V UNIX on 2 megs ram and 67 
meg hard drive on a motorola 68010 processor and it ran smoothly.  Sure it 
was slower but it was fully functional.  

I might be getting a cd-rom drive for cheap and I already have access to 
the NeXT step cd roms full developers version so only time will tell...

Linux, netBSD, freeBSD, whatever...it's all better than dos/windows.
