Linux on 32Mhz machine?

[Candy]

My current problem is that my computer was killed by the Chonobal virus, that leaves me with a 32Mhz machine with about 12M RAM. Is there any way of installing Linux on this type of system?

Thanks.

Yes, if you can get a 386 release of Linux you can install it on the 32Mhz system. I am assuming that it is a 386DX or something like a 486SX or 486DX.

I forget if the current Linux has a 486 install or even supports 386 anymore. But the older Linux systems came in 386 format like the 1.X Kernels.

If you rebuild your kernel you can configure it to operate efficiently on a 386 with or without a Math co-processor. You should be able to install any current distribution, but as soon as you get it installed you may want to make yourself a custom kernel to get the best performance.
