Hmmm.
Anyone tried either Minix or uLinux on PS/2's ?
I've got an old 286 based PS/2 (model 70 if I remember) sitting unused
at home and I'd like to see it have at least *some* use. Like giving it
to my sister for her word processing stuff so I can steal her 486
toshiba laptop and put debian on it :)
