I wish more distros compiled their apps as at least i586 binaries. No one (or nearly no one) would attempt to use a modern distro on a i386 anymore. Even 486 systems will be hard to come by now.
Slackware's packages are compiled for i486. Although I think it would be reasonable to compile the X-based stuff for i586 and better. Noone in their right mind is going to use a 486 as a desktop with GNOME. Regards, -- Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
