Point to note: I did have a friend that was running Slackware with a 1.2.3
kernel on a 486DX2. Tryed to compile a kernel, while in X.
After eight hours, it burned out the swap partition of the hard disk. As
in, he needed to replace the drive, as any accesses to that partition
started stalling/hanging the disk!
