That's why I like it too. One of the boards I'm giving away is a 486
with 64MB of RAM, and it worked fine as my web, dns, samba,
ftp, and mail server. No mouse attached, and I didn't have to install
X. The root drive was the 850 MB, with the 1.2 GB as the /home
drive. Naturally, once the 300 Mhz K6 became available, I upgraded,
but not because I had to. The hardware I'm giving away will make
perfectly fine servers running Slackware for whoever wants them.
