In view of those rather impressive specs, it may be as well to
observe that Linux will run happily on (say) a 486 at 100MHz
with 16Mb RAM.  One of the best things about Linux is that it does
not demand the latest, greatest, & priciest Whizbang 2000.

To me Arthur's news about Linux, DOSEmu, & XyWrite is Christmas
come early.
