suitability of freebsd 5.3 for 486 dx2 66?

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

This is fine for FreeBSD 4.11,  yes it will take a long
time to build a kernel, but not more than 24 hours.  You
also get some valuable lessons in space planning on a
hard disk.

The original PDP-11 only had 64k  (that's k, not meg) of
ram I believe.
