There's a 386/25 with 5Mb RAM in my living group currently running a pre-1.0
version of Linux. We'd like to have it be more usable, possibly running AFS
if memory permits (fat chance). First, I would like to know if Linux or NetBSD
uses less memory (if anyone knows). Secondly, what are the memory issues
that would be involved for each OS if we were to try running AFS on this
machine?
The idea is to let people use the machine to check their mail, preferably
allowing them to save the mail to their AFS homedirs.
Thanks,
-Danilo
