I have RedHat 5.2 on a SPARCstation 1+. It installed easily
and will actually run X (very slowly). The system BogoMIPS
a wopping 24.9 (or so). BUT, it's a great web server and
NEVER crashes (yet). I'm experimenting a little with inn-2.2
and it works ok too. It does that a looooooong time to complie
files though!
