Yeah sure is....Linux will run happily and quickly on a 486 even a 386 for
that matter. Also, regardless of which flavour you install you will get the
kernal performance of about a 386 but do not be discouraged coz Linux handles
IO better so you will get better performance than the equal install with
Win98/NT.
However to squeeze more performance out of the linux kernal, I would recompile
the kernal for your system once you have completely installed linux.

How?

a good resource is www.pcplus.co.uk they have a dedicated linux section go to
Linux Tutorials and click on linux and the kernal by Jonathan Nicholson.

Enjoy and good luck...
