I put Debian Woody on a 486sx/25 with 8mb ram. Actually I cheated: I
installed by attaching the hard disk to a more powerful motherboard, and
then attached it to the older box. I can apt-get things, but it tends to
take about half an hour for new software to seep into the package
database. If I ever want to upgrade, I can always reattach it to the
more powerful system, or just get it started and wait a week ;)
