I have a '386 happily running 4.2-S and working as a fax server. Current uptime is 104 days. I'm hoping not to have to reboot it before next year. :-) Things to deal with--it can run in 8meg RAM, supposedly, but if you install fresh, you need at least 20meg RAM for sysinstall to run. I tried a buildworld on it just for fun last year, but gave up after it ran for several days. I just run buildworld on a faster machine, then NFS mount and installworld on the '386. It works fine like that, and it hasn't had any problems running 3-STABLE and 4-STABLE.
