What distros support 486 machines?

[josephc at etards.net]

Any distro with i386 support will install on a 386 or newer, that includes
the latest version of RH. Your only hangup is memory, you should have
atleast 8MB, 32 if at all possible.

That doesn't mean all other programs will run on that machine, and forget
about a GUI.
