Same here. There are a few that barely run on
anything less than p-III
class hardware.
Since I have an abundance of older 486class stuff I use Freebsd 2.2.6
and a 7 year old copy of Slackware or Caldera OpenlinuxV2.3 when I
want a linux box.
For the "look what we can do with a single floppy boot" category, it's
pretty hard to beat the old QNX demos:
