Got cleared up and it came back within 20 minutes of contact with the grease.. I quit the job.. Now if I wear to tight of long sleeves my arms start to itch and will break out if I dont roll my sleeves up.. Just a thought.

Nope, not sure. The doctor wasn't convinced it was poison ivy, but didn't do anything to try and figure out what it really was.

Gave me steroids and loads of benadryl. The prednisone does help quite a bit.

8 Mhz CPU? No way... Can it even run DOS? Probably can run Red Hat 3, but if it only has 8Mhz it will not be able to run my OS.

Get this back to a fun thread? Well first off quit posting filthy pics...

286? Well the Linux kernel never was written to run on 286, BUT you can run it on 286, using a kernel option and compiling it with the 386 instruction set and Cyrix extensions. I've done it

... Slower than time though.

386 CPU support was just dropped a few days ago in the official Linux kernel but my OS supports it natively... And 486 s are common enough...

Unreg, Are you using Linux or Unix? You're confusing me... They are two similar but separate worlds... Albeit I have run Unix programs successfully on Linux but I don't attempt that often...
