Actually 4 and 5 if you want to install from a distro and CD ... go Slackware or Debian. They both work well on 486 below 50mhz. Now if it's like my little box that has a 100mhz AMD and is capable of running win98 Go RH ... chose the 2.2 kernel (for an even faster box go 2.0 kernel. The hardware it doesn't support can't be used on a 486 anyway, but you'll have to build it later after the install.) Just make sure of the following. DON'T try kde or gnome... they are just plain too big. Go with ICE or some other small wm. As for browsers go with browsex it's fast and light and will actually start in under an hour. Final idea.... check out the rule project www.rule.org. RULE stands for Run Up2date Linux Everywhere.
