[wellylug] Linux on Antique Boxen

[Rob Giltrap - Ubiety Group]

With the help of Fletch working on the 2020 Trust machine following 
'Linux From Scratch' he built a damn fine solution that worked extremely 
well with 64Mb and even managed to squeeze in Abiword and Gnumeric 
without having to do any real swapping. Unfortunately the HDD died right 
at the last minute. Never the less it was quite a nice setup on a 
P100/64MB and I was very impressed.

Rob.
