Well, since MWC is going to come out with a 386, 32 bit, VM kernel soon,
I say; "Why not?".  I've seen what SVR4 does to a 386.  Eight megs isn't
very much when you are talking about SVR4.  I'm running news and hacking
software with two megs of memory.


If I was going to run real SYS V R 4 AT&T UNIX, I would want 24 to 32 megs.
