The above 486 now runs debian which is on a 120mb disk with a fair bit installed.
Yep - deb seems to scale down to small installs quite well - from what I can remember, the smallest install you can do is about 28 MB (admittedly it's not terribly useful at that point) and you can build it up with the bits you want from there.

Sounds familiar - I seem to remember having a 386SX25 running apache at one point (40Mb HDD, 6Mb RAM)...then I went up in the world...486SX25, 120Mb HDD, 8Mb RAM - apache + sendmail + X + Netscape...the fun u can have with old machines ;)
Yes Linux = more fun with less cost or in my case it could be called skipware owing to the source of the bits!!
