@howtophil I'll try it!

Wrt pre-Pentium machines, it's cool that the 486 is still supported by NetBSD but it requires a good amount of RAM.

@sjmulder That's when I start looking at FreeDOS and a totally legit copy of GeoWorks I have (set the filesystem type to os2 in the geoworks conf after install)

I have AntiX on a laptop that originally shipped with XP and it is snappy

@howtophil @sjmulder i've still got antiX on this 2007 EeePC and it feels no different than when i first started using antiX on it back in however long it was ago now

with only one major, tragic exception: web browsing

Mark. Just Mark.

@sjmulder @howtophil this makes me think of how useful my Commodore Amiga was back in the pre-web 90's.
1 MB ram, 7 MHz CPU, 80 MB HD and it could do all the docs, spreadsheets, graphics that more serious computers could, as well as play some awesome games.
All with a snappy, responsive, windowed multitasking GUI.

@markjustmark @sjmulder My middle-school had Geoworks on some PCs and moving to HS with Windows felt like a step back. "What do you mean no autosave? What about when the power goes out???"

@markjustmark @sjmulder @howtophil In my first year at Uni, I could work in Turbo Pascal running on a DOS emulator on my A500 with a Norton SI score of 0.2 :) All off floppy disks, couldn't afford the HD
