topic *WAS* "{OT} what to do with an old 486"

just out of being nosey, any links to software (games, apps, utils, not just
linux distros) that'll work on machines less than a pentium (80486 or
older)?

seems i'm not the only one interested ? after all, if they still boot up,
they've got to be good for something other than a doorstop ?

i think henk's got some links, anyone else ?

Might also want to browse "THIS OLD 486"

for instance the download sections there.
