                                    @nina_kali_nina @tomjennings Wow. I had no idea that even older Linux was so memory heavy.

                                    I suppose it should be considered quite impressive that a 266 MHz SuperH machine running #NetBSD can compile more than 10,000 packages in just 64 megs of memory:

                                    https://pkg.zia.io/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/sh3el/10.0_2025Q2/All/

                                    I love reading the stuff you post. Thanks for sharing! Even just trying to imagine writing programs where I'd have to specify from where the next instruction will be loaded is an interesting mental challenge. All of those old machines are fascinating :)

                                      @nina_kali_nina @tomjennings How old do you need to get to run in 4 megs? I'm running modern #NetBSD 11 in 10 megs (Mac LC II), and it's hardly usable for much, so I'm considering an older NetBSD for this machine.

                                      NetBSD 11 running in 36 megs (Mac LC III+) is enough to compile large packages like Perl. Does Linux really need 64 megs just to run? Can you compile on it?

                                      It is amazing to think about how much was possible in hundreds or thousands of bytes. We need to resurrect more of that magical software.
