Mandrake has produced i386 versions for previous releases, and I suppose
they may do so for 8.2, but it gets harder each time. In theory there's
nothing to stop you compiling the whole distribution from source, but of

Alex:
Take a look at RedHat -- they supported 486's through 7.1, and may still do
so in their current version (7.3). I'm still dubious about StarOffice;
version 6.0 requires a Pentium with at least 64 mb RAM.
You didn't mention your hard drive. IIRC, 486's were quite limited (540 mb
maximum?).
