VectorLinux should run fine on a 486 if you have 16MB of RAM (maybe less

Do you call this a real answer? I don't want to touch Linux with a 
10 foot pole (been there done that. First time ~10 years ago and absolutely
hate it). 

Besides what's fun with that? I want to port the source of the 
cmdline set@home client to DOS and the Watt-32 stack (which 
is very BSD-socket compatible I must say). I could probably do 
w/o the filelocking and other Unix centric stuff.
