I've run a fairly current Debian ("Sarge" I think, I don't have the machine
here to check) on a Pentium I with MMX instructions. I think it should run
on any '586. That hardware is a bit inadequate for other reasons (2GB HDD,
64MB RAM) but Debian does run with KDE ... albeit slowly.
I had to create a swap partition before it would even install, though.
Cheers,
Daniel.
