I've ran 1.5.2 on my "phaeton" and now am running -current from start of may on
it. "Phaeton" is a toshiba t3400 w/ 4mb ram, 486dx2/66 laptop with 120 MB of
disk (32 MB of it being swap), and a pcmcia ne. I'm not running X on it, but
four consoles with window(1). It rocks. (yes, I'm quite low on space, but thx
to syspkgs I even have cc & gdb on it :).

If you have more diskspace (advisable :p) you'll be running fine with any 1.5 :)
If not, a whole lot of twiddling and multiple installs (syspkgs have no dependancies,
easy to miss stuff) will wait for you.

NetBSD rocks :-))
