Amen! My 50 Mhz. 486 with 8 MB (Gateway Colorbook) runs Word 97 on
Win95 acceptably!

And daRcmaTTeR has a great point here. Legacy hardware makes good
firewalls in a cash-strapped (SOHO) environment...provided you're not
anal about ISA bus limitations.

But to be honest, most of the really impressive advances that have
happened since 7.0 have been in KDE/GNOME/other graphical interfaces and
stuff like that. Most of the stuff that a 486 doesn't have the p

I'm with you, Hoyt, re: the 486 version of Mandrake. There's still a
lot of legacy hardware out there that could use the Mandrake "ease of
use" touch with optimized performance. They'd probably have to ditch X
and go with some kind of SVGA solution (or maybe port one of the PDA
Xes), but IMO
I'd rather see the effort put into a 486 version of Mandrake than into a
Debian-Mandrake.
I'd rather see APIC support fixed.
I'd rather see the Auto Install Floppy option fixed.
