Is it possible/practical to run Linux on an old 386SX

I don't think so. For some reason I am thinking that you now need a 486 or even a pentium to run it; something about the protected mode or MMU changes from the 386 architecture to the 486. But I could be wrong...

Please read my #33 and see what you think. I know nothing about Linux.
