I'm new to this mailing list and have been interested in Linux since way
back when with kernel 0.99...when i386 was the only platform available.
Now I find myself running it on a P90 and a SPARCstation 1+.
I'm looking at some of these DEC UDB/Multia boxes that are forsale both
166 and 233 MHz. In particular, a 233MHz Model #VX42A-F2 with 24M RAM,
510M hard disk that ships with NT.
The specific goals of the DEC system would be to function as a print
server (lpd) and a internet gateway with pppd and ip-masq.
If anyone could offer any helpful hints or suggestions, please let me know.
I'm especially curious about the stability of the kernel and how well it
would work as a light-use print server and internet gateway. What is the
performance like comparable to a Pentium system or a SPARC system?
Thanks,
Brian Toscano
