What are you going to do with the 486? If it's destined to be a
firewall/server, then Mandrake SNF would be the best for you. If not, then
perhaps you should look at Red Hat, since it is current and is compiled for
i386 processors. Alternatively, you can look at 'compact' distros (made for
low-power machines) like Peanut Linux.
