[xubuntu-users] Xu vs. 486DX2

[michael at michaelshiloh.com]

I think DSL uses a 2.4 kernel to save space. Don't know how you feel about it,
but I wasn't interested in going there.

Puppy has very good reviews, although I wasn't able to get it running on my
486. Could well be my error, not a fault of puppy or the computer.

If you have trouble, one of the tricks is to disable DMA on the kernel option
line.

Good luck, and do let us know what you learn,
Michael
