Yes, as a thin X client. Not, I hasten to add, for using FlightGear or TuxRacer (or - normally - even The GIMP) on, just dinky little 2D apps like KMail, Konqueror and Konsole. There are a *lot* of 486es out there which are useful in this capacity. Some of them will be diskless, in which case the ``distro'' would be installed to be a remote-bootable image on a better machine rather than as the primary/only installation on a 386/486.
