I am running Linux 2.0.27 on a Tyan S1668D with 2 Pentium Pro 150 MHz
overclocked to 166 MHz and 256 MB RAM. I also have a Buslogic BT-958
and a bunch of SCSI devices. I like its performance. I can build
gcc to stage 2 in less than 9 minutes, a "make World" for XFree86 3.2A
with everything enabled in less than 1 hour and the Linux kernel in
less than 4 minutes.
