I have it on a 25MHz AMD 386 and it runs very nicely. RH5, and the system
has 8M of ram and a 500M drive. (No X win tho)

If you can find it. Note that 72pin RAM won't go in a 386 and will rarely
if ever go in a 486sx. (Some 486DX's have 72 pin slots, but relatively few
and AFAIK there were never very many 72-pin-capable SX's at all). 30 pin
RAM is cheap too but you won't have much luck finding it. And 386's are
often fussy about what size ram chips they hold - many 386 MBs won't take
4M or 8M simms... :)
