Re: Linux vs. DOS

Hi:
Just returned form the University surplus equipment sale where I
purchased a skid of PC gear for $15 because I needed a new paper tray
for my laser printer. Besides getting a Laser Printer which I have not
tested yet, I got a PS/2 8555 which is a 386sx 6meg ram and 60mg
hardrive.

Can I run Linux on this system? If so how do I easly get a copy and
what version do I need? What additional tools do I need (compilers)? Do
I need realtime code? If so where do i get it? and what version. My
plans are to build a stepper motor drive for a small mill. But first I
just want to run some stepper motors to get a better understanding of
CAM. I design my parts using Autocad.
