-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 JC, For what its worth, the previously described PC104 486 based system was used by my company to controll a filter system & write to an X display at the same time running Linux. That system only had 128MB of RAM & that might have been too much. All applications ran from RAM. Good points Evan. A lot can be done if you set up a custom system. Up until I switch to an AMD 64 bit system I ran slackware in which you can select indiviual packages to install. You could get a very small system if you wanted. Stick to on editor one window system and a custom kernel and you can get a rather complete system pretty small. Take a look at most 'Boxed' systems under /bin /sbin /usr/bin and /usr/sbin and you will see a lot of programs that you will never use! John |
