  13. If your memory and hard disk space are at a premium, then try Linux rather than
  14. 386BSD.  I got a a full installation of Linux + Xfree86 + TCP/IP and all the
  15. other goodies in its SLS package onto a 60Mb partition quite comfortably,
  16. including the Interviews packages doc and iDraw.  TCP/IP I understand is better in
  17. 386BSD, though Linux is rapidly improving (I think the kernel 0.99 released last
  18. weekend is supposed to be a great improvement).  Please can we not have a
  19. 386BSD/Linux war... I did not mean to start it... :-)
