> I think it would be terrible, because I got frustrated enough trying to run a 4e CPU server with graphics on a 2GB x86.  I kept running out of image memory!  The trouble was the draw device in 4th edition stores images in the same "image memory" the kernel loads programs into, and the 386 CPU kernel 'only' allocates 64MB of that. :)

this was changed long ago.  image memory can now be much bigger.  i never had a problem when a 4e terminal
was my daily driver.
