I'm using a 486 DX/50. I wouldn't recommend a 386 for more than a dedicated
box (you know, the sort of thing you'd dedicate a Pentium 200 or less to
under NT <grin>).

I'm using 386 DX/20s for routers.

Interestingly, a 386DX/20 is a lot peppier under FreeBSD than Linux.

I'm using 2.2.6 on them. I can't get 3.0-BETA to install.
