Hmm.. My friend installed it on one 386 last night and it took
him about 3-4 hours total with disk backup & partitioning etc. Howewer,
he is really a unix wizard and someone with less experience in such opera-
ting systems might have faced lots of difficulties and so on. It isn't
particularly easy to install and it lacks some utilities (I know, you can
port and add then yourself, but..) but it has some edge. You don't
have to pay several hundred dollars just to try it. If you are interested,
it is well worth trying!
