    I am a new comer for linux would. I want to like to ask some stupid
question about this Unix like system.

    1). I have a 386sx25 MHz IBM compatible machine with 4 Mb RAM and 106 Mb
         Seagate IDE Harddrive, 1024 * 768 superVGA and a 2400 Baud modem.
         With this bare bone system (from UNIX point of view), is that possible
         to run Linux? I don't care how slow it will be, I just want to know
         if it can be run or not.

    2). I live in the MidWest of America, where is the nearest ftp site for
         downloading most recent version of Linux.

    3). How big is the complete Linux, does it support partial install? How
         many disk space required for both case ?

    4). What's the major fugures of Linux? Doesn't it support X on 386sx ?
      
    I think these problems are FAQ, but I would appreciate any comment.
