In 1994 I was using Linux on a 486 DX 50mhz originally with 4 megs of RAM. I had upgrade to 20 megs a few months later, so I could use X efficiently. What can you do with a 486 Linux system? Probably more then you think. Just not as many things at once. You can run a web server, a database probably not both at the same time. However if you maxed the RAM you could get a lot done on slow CPU. If you checked you fast Computer most of the time your CPU is idle. On a 486 you can do nearly anything you can do on
why does this matter? (Score:-1)
What could you possibly do with this? The idea makes me cringe..
BTW.. first..

This shows how much Xorg sucks and why the kids today can't see the good on Wayland
