    Ok, from my understanding, even the latest version of FreeBSD can still run
    on 386 class PC's, a 200MB HD is 100 more then you need for a Minimal
    install (though you won't have a lot of room left over), Don't know about
    the 1MB of RAM though, the point is, you'll be surprised at what even the
    Newest version of FreeBSD can run on. Granted I would not use it as a
    graphics workstation, or run KDE/GNOME on it, but it could do well as home
    file server, maybe a low volume web server (you may need to add more ram
    though)

    Hello to everybody, from Greece.
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to send this e-mail, but I'm
    sending it anyhow :)
    I've got an old PC, (i386sx33, 1MB ram, 200MB HD) and I want to run
    freeBSD on it. It is obvious that newer versions won't run, so I'm
    looking for one of the earlier versions like 1.0 .... If anyone still
    has something please send it over or redirect me to someplace else.
    Thanks in advance :)
