Talking just curious.... is it even possible.... naahhh....


this is quite funny i found this while taking apart an ancient old computer for scrap parts (all i could use was the floppy)

i came across an intel i486 SX processor after a little research i found out that this thing has a whole whopping 16 to 33 Mhz!!!!

could that even sustain bash based system????

It depends how much ram the machine has, you need approx. 4 mb of ram to run a minamal system, buts its preferred to have more
