So using a 386 as a router and firewall, which it is perfectly capable
of hardwarewise, isn't going to be an option anymore? For such purposes,
running an older version of Debian (or whatever distribution) isn't an
option, since you have to be able to get security updates.
I could live with that, but I think it'd be a shame.
