Hi: In 1983, " Inexpensive microprocessors such as the Motorola 68000 and
the Intel I286 become available. Old and new computer vendors take advantage
of these processors and networking particular that provided in 4.2BSD, to
produce networked workstations." So, make a workstation! Actually, maybe a
mail server would be nice. Then, a router. Should be interesting. See if
Debian or Slackware will sit on it? Let us know what you do.
Thanks,
