Anyone know if Linux will run on such a creature?
Micronics 90 Mhz pentium motherboard using the Intel Neptune PCI chipset.

If Gateway is using the same motherboard from Intel, it does work and
runs beautifully on my 90 Mhz Pentium system. This includes networking and X.

1. Need suggestions on running Linux and X on a 90Mhz Pentium
Howdy!
I'm in a market of buying a Pentium 90Mhz machine and Linux would be
my major application platform. I would have about $5000 to spend...
(Well, it's my boss's money... 8^)).
Below would be my proposed configuration:
Pentium 90Mhz CPU
256K cache
32M RAM
1G SCSI 2 HD
PCI SCSI controller
17" color monitor (1280x1024)
PCI Graphics
Double speed CD ROM drive
My questions would be:
1. What's the best graphics card so that I can run X-Windows (Xfree86?)
under Linux? I know that Diamond's cards are fast, but they are buggy
in running X in Linux.
2. What sort of SCSI 2 controller of supported by Linux? I suspect
those made by Adaptec would be O.K.??? Same question for CD ROM.
3. What would be a reliable vendor? I'm thinking of DELL or Micron.
4. Which distribution of Linux should I get? I'm thinking of buying a
CD ROM distribution... Downloading tonnes of FD is kind of time-wasting.
5. Is there any problems running Linux under a 90Mhz Pentium?
I would appreciate any opinions or suggestions.
Thanks.
2. Different implmentations of the same function
3. Ethernet setup on Pentium 90MHz
5. Does Linux work on any 90MhZ Pentium?
6. SCO is getting desperate! check this out!
7. Need suggestions of running Linux and X on 90Mhz Pentium
9. SUCCESS: Pentium 90MHz, Slackware
10. Low BogoMips on Pentium 90MHz
11. 1.2.8 and Intel ZP triton 90mhz pentium
12. Overclocking Pentium 90mhz to 100mhz - any flakiness ?
