I've got a 386 with 32MB of RAM that's running Red Hat 8.0.  I've kept
updating the distro periodically since RH 5.0 (at the time, it hat 5MB
RAM).  Starting around Red Hat 7.something I couldn't boot the
installers, so I upgraded the "naughty way" (updating the RPMs live).

Sometime soon I'll probably try the same technique to get it running
Fedora... after all, the Fedora RPMs *are* compiled with --march=i386,
right?  ;)
