I expect that you would have trouble trying to run any form of windows on your 386 PC.
Well, I assure you I used windows 3.10 when I bought that machine in 1991, and it run, with only 2 Mbytes of ram or so. Later, I increased it to 5 Mbytes. That machine was in use till 1995 or later, using dos 5 or 6 and win 3.11. It was never lightning fast, specially being an -SX, not a pure 386, but it served me well, I did not complain. You see, I only noticed it was slow when I first saw a pentium 90 ;-) - nowdays, a pentium would be considered horribly slow.
Sorry Carlos. I didn't doubt you. I meant that you would have trouble trying to run any form of windows under Linux. DOS/Win3.1 is no problem. I still have a 486DX 40 set up to run DOS 6.2/Win3.11 (plus a TCP/IP stack so it talks to my LAN) and it's quite fast! I also have a small 'museum' --- includes a Sinclair Spectrum, BBC and an original IBM PC/XT -- remember when a 10MB hard disk was BIG and nobody needed more than 640KB of RAM? Regards Ken Hough
