Kernel support for 386 was dropped recently, but 486 and above are fine. I think many distros have probably dropped 486 support, though; someone upthread mentions that Debian is 686 and above only now.


That’s probably where I got the idea. Debian is usually one of the last distros to make a move like that too since they’re conservative.


Slackware may still work on 486.
