You are *very brave*. 16 MB RAM???! Staroffice eats *a lot* of memory. SO4 used something like 40 MB. Honestly, I do not give you any chance to run it with 16 MB. Even for running X, I call 16 MB to less. I suppose there is no cure but memory upgrade. sorry.

Come on guys , I keep hearing how LINUX can recycle all that older hardway , I wnt as far as loading it on a 486/66 w 8 meg of ram to test it as a samba server. Surprise , surprise , tha darn thing actualy worked , and I could run a dos app and data both accross the network and still have acceptable responce for screen/data respionce. This was a total failer in windows 3.11 with peer to peer. Yeah I know It took over 8 hours to recompile the kernal , But you do have to make som concessions on using old ancient hardware. No I never loaded xwindows or xserver on the 486 , I was afriad it would smoke and belch. I was toufgh fitting every thing on a 1/2 gig drive. Piont is thoght that this progect has sold me on LINUX . Back to my question. What worprossesing / suite will rin on a pentuim class system with 16 to 32 meg ram , or Do I realy want to cave in and use 64 meg of ram ?? while I am at it , what database tools are there for linux , simmilar to acess ect...

I also have great experiences with "old hardware". I have three linux/win95-boxes at home. The two linux/win95-boxes is used for "work-and-play" and the third one is a 486/33 with a 100MB HDD!!!!!!!!!! I have linux installed on it and it serves as a printserver for the other two computers. Thanks to Samba I can print from my windowspartition too!!!! Ofcource X is not installed. My next project is to use the 486 as a gateway to the internet. I'll install my modem on it and by the help of God and IP-masquerading I hopefully will get it all to work as intended!

true enough. I used a 386sx20, 8MB (later 16MB), 100 + 60 MB Harddrive, samba 1.9.16 as a print server. worked well. needed the "lpc up all" command in crontab to make sure it didn't forget printing (as it happened on occasion). The rest was: installing, booting, checking and -forget it-. Much more reliable that a win3.11 printserver. (I was forced to convert it to the bad) but back to the original question and my "bad" remark: SO is a memory killer and with 16MB and X, you are running it from swap, not memory. I tried a DX2-66 with X and netscape 3.x a year ago, (fvwm95) this was *just* bearable. watch your xosview when trying to run SO5 next time.

I run SO 4.0sp3 on my Pentium 120 with 32MB RAM. I use xfce for a window manager (fairly lean), and it takes a couple minutes to load, but once loaded, works great.

SO 4.0 has one, but it's very limited. I haven't figured out how to link tables with it, but it does have an SQL interface. It's really obscure to use, but it's there. If you need a graphic interface, try Oracle8 for Linux. Oracle was giving it away - I don't know if they still are, however. 600MB to install, though.

Correction, Oracle 8.0.5 is free to download from their site, www.oracle.com, it's 147Mb file to download, and you need 300Mb of space to install it, plus any space you will use for your database files. -john.

I was talking about the CD. Does the download include Navigator and Developer 2000? George John Robinson wrote:

Even on my 300 Mhz Pentium II machine with 190 MB of memory it took about 20-30 seconds to load that monster. Needless to say, I removed it from my system and got Applix. "Stéphane BRUCHET" wrote:
