Modern Linux in an ancient PC
This is neat, i think i have a laptop with a 486 somewhere around here so i might try this at some point. The only trouble is that said laptop only has infrared for I/O (not even floppy) :-P. Also i have one with a Pentium although that is a bit faster, obviously.However i wonder if it would be faster if you went with a Linux From Scratch-like approach and used some lightweight init system and only installed minimal stuff - perhaps replacing the some of the more heavyweight GNU tools with alternatives from suckless [1].[1] https://core.suckless.org/
