Um...guys? there is a version of Mandrake that came out for the 486. It was
released as Mandrake 7.0 about a year or so ago. I'll check my arc's for the
postings refering to it, but I think you can find it on the Mandrake
download pages as well. Unless, of course I'm totally full of it, which
"has" been know to happen now and then.
