I have a 486DX2 at 66 that I have as pet project to mess with Windows 95, MSDOS and S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 . SuSE 5.3 was my first full distro (the whole pack of 6 cdroms), and I had good memories of how was easy to install stuff with YaST.
I could try to upgrade to the mighty Am486DX5 at 133. I managed to get one, but I need to mod the MBO to give the low voltage required by it. The MBO it's prepared to it, but don't have populated the regulator...
Very cool! I have a DX4-100 system with an empty CF card calling for Linux, I'll have to give SuSE 5.3 a try. I see it has KDE 1.0 which will be fun to explore.
I had similar experiences with the Am486DX5, I could only run it at 100MHz and I also suspect it's voltage related.
