- I've been using linux on a TI travelmate 3000 (386SX/20MHz/40MB disk)
- for a few months now - its not a very fast or big system (compared to
- a 486DX 8-) ) but it can do anything I need, even X with good
- performance. A friend wrote a small program to switch clock frequencies,
- and we even were able to make the external monitor work under X
- (in monochrome).
