Actually Peter, in 2001, the "low end" mostly means pentiums. The 486s
have long ago gone to the dump, except some laptops such as the one that
started this thread. I'd be surprised if a mainstream distro would
sacrifice much for 486 support.   pIIs/celerons are getting old now, and
plain pentiums are positively ancient. They still make good servers
though.
