Balderdash Bob! 

I am writing to you now from a 486DX66 - with an almost out-of-the-packet
kernel. It runs fine, but not something you'd want to run a GUI on....

It's my POP3 ans SMTP mail server, Fidonet mailer/message editor, along
with the garden sprinkler controller, DNS server, DHCP server, SAMBA server
etc,etc.

David
