You probably win, but I run NetBSD/mac68k on a Mac
IIci with the
original 25MHz '030. It has 128MB of RAM and takes several minutes to
pass POST. I now run it without a cache card because that was the
major reason why it would kernel panic after some months of uptime
(the cache card would inevitably blow a cap). So it's slower, but it's
happy.
Oh yeah, well, in my day, I ran Xenix on a Lisa at 5MHz, no windowing
system there, on a pair of 5MB profile drives. :) And yes, you kids
have it very nice these days, in my day, we used to hike uphill 5 miles
in the snow, both ways, to/from school, and we had to watch out for
sabre toothed cats.
(Waiting for the guys that ran real UNIX on a PDP-8 to show up and say
they rode T-Rex's to school.)
