I agree with the need for a 486 Mandrake.  (I ahd to reinstall windbloze
to my Libretto because I can't get a version of Linux that installs to it
any more (hdd crash)) However shouldn't need to go with a mini X, after
all 3.x X was running back in the days (not so long ago either) of RH 5.2
and Mandrake 6.0.  Granted you won't have the latest AGP card driver but,
I've never found an AGP card that worked well from an ISA slot *grin*.
