I can verify this. I am using an old Gateway2000 i486sx, 25MHz with
8MB RAM right now to write this. I have ~32MB swap. It is running as
a router for my dial-up connection, but it also has a keyboard and
monitor so I am using it for ssh-ing to school to read my mail (and
write this). I have kernel 2.2.19 and have no stability problems
(only performance problems :-), for example when I use dpkg)
