I need to get around and upgrade an old mini-tower with an AMD-586 w/512MB memory from 9.3 to 11.0, I may wait for 11.1.

  What do you use that low spec machine for?
  • jmclnx 10d ago
    It is a backup machine for important files. Plus testing items I develop to see how they run in limited environments.

      Cool, was just curious.

      Just wondering how does that fair over a vm or container that has similar limitations?
      • jmclnx 10d ago
        I do not like using VMs and containers, I do like FreeBSD jails. Plus my main machine is around 12 or 13 years old, so I avoid VMs on it. But I saw somewhere someone is working on a jail like item for NetBSD.
