It certainly is! but depends on the trouble you want to take and what you're after. On the one hand if it's a standalone PC you'd have to be to real clear as to what you exactly want it to do -once that's clear it's only a case of 'being bothered'. On the other hand if it's a PC that can be connected to a server in a lan configuration the ltsp-project is something worth looking at (http:/www.ltsp.net). Frankly 486PC's have enough life in them yet, as long as you're sure to as what you want to achieve. -- Greetings, Harm Bathoorn.
