Linux can run with _1_ meg of RAM, and it runs quite comfortably on an
386. For Matthew, I've heard Debian Linux is the best Linux to get,
followed by Red Hat.  I don't know about FreeBSD, but I'm sure there are
newsgroups and web sites that could help you more.  I'll be getting a
Linux box someday myself, to make an IP-masquerading network. 

ObTI: is a command-line OS possible on the TI?  I mean having files,
folders, commands, etc.  I'm not sure there's enough room in RAM to do
that ahnd still have enough room left for it to be useful for anything.
