I installed my first slackware, must've been '94 or '95 on a Toshiba
486 laptop. 25 MHz, 4 MB RAM, 350 MB hard disk. Not enough power to
run XWindows, but a buddy who had a similar configuration sure tried.

I got a 16MHz 386 with 2.5MB of RAM to run X.

It swapped a lot.

My first box I ever got XFree86 to run upon, was a 386SX-25 with 4MB
of RAM. To say "It swapped a lot" is a great understatement. :-D
I even had it doing a PPP dialup connection over a 14.4K baud modem
while X was running multiple telnet xterm sessions back to my ISP's
HP9000 . It kept repeating over and over "I think I can, I think I
can".... but amazingly, it could!
