There are also LOTS of distros for old PC's... that is, the ones that were cutting edge when they were new, only they're not new any more. The CD's I have: RH 4.1 Debian 1.3.1 RH 4.2 Mandrake 7.1 OpenLinux 1.1 RH 5.1 SuSE 5.2 OpenLinux 1.2 RH 6.2 Slackware 96 RH 7.1 Slackware 3.4 RH 7.2 Except for RH 7.x and Mandrake, all the others will run fine on a 486. - Steve
