Hmmm, I remember running SVR4 on a 3b2-400.  Basically comparable to a
slow 286 in speed, 4 meg memory and two 75 meg harddrives.  We did some
huge compiles on that machine as well.  Sorry, just felt a need to
share.  You can't upgrade the memory past 4 meg.  Actually I've been
told you can, but you would have to cut a whole in the top of the box,
because the memory card would protrude through the top.  Kinda like an
old overpowered Chevy. :)

Not only does it work, it works well, and it is reasonably quick.

I would say the 3b2-400 was quick though. :)
