[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and
Unix-related topics. ]

Hi all,

I've got a small 486 I've managed to successfully boot with dhcp and
tftp, mounting a root filesystem over NFS.

The question now is finding something to *do* with it; do any
humbuggers have any suggestions for hack-worthy things for this box to
do?  Keep in mind it's a 486 with 12 megs of ram, running diskless.
That said, there is about 140MB available to install an operating
system on, as well as a monitor and PC keyboard.

(The first person to say `beowulf' gets hit in the head.  Hard.)
