Hey Christian!

 CV> 386SX33.  It could run Linux but was hell slow :D

Sounds very familiar except I already had the 386 booting to whatever version
of dos with a 32-bit gcc port (djgpp).  I opted for a dual boot system on
there and bought a 486-33 for a pure Slackware 3.something-or-other install. 
That became my first linux hacking machine and was awesome in comparison to
the 386.  Next was a 486 Toshiba laptop whose graphics chip (Chips &
Technology) put up a fight at first.  A new custom compiled kernel fixed that
nicely.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
