Dan,
It's a step in the right direction, ideally though I'd like to find
something at the extreme bottom range of what is still usable. I know
slitaz will run on a 486 very quickly and it looks as modern as any OS.
Of course it doesn't have the support you'd want for promoting it to
customers but it highlights very well that you don't need to upgrade,
upgrade, upgrade when you diversify from M$.

Hi Gareth,
I don't know if it is exactly what you're looking for, but I've got an
old(ish) Toshiba equium with a pentium processor that's running 32-bit
Ubuntu 14.04.
I'd be more than happy to bring it along if you're interested.

I'm working on a new project and need to ask for your help. Here in
High
Wycombe we have a pop up shop which can be rented to try out new
business ideas before committing to long term leases etc. I am wanting
to launch a new service offering sales and support aimed at home and
small business users. My main focus will be on promoting Ubuntu but in
order to demonstrate the versatility of Linux I wanted to have a 486
(or
possibly early Pentium) running Damn Small Linux or Slitaz.
My problem is that 486s seem to be going for silly money on ebay, so
would anyone have one propping up a table leg they could donate to the
cause?
Thanks
Gareth
