Would a 486
PS/2 make a decent Linux machine? Any suggestions on a specific
model?
I'd recommend against it. While a 486 makes a good Linux box, I'm not sure
how well Linux supports PS/2 hardware. It used to be it didn't support MCA
at all, but I think it does now.

Actually an 8590 made a pretty good Linux box.
I ran one at IBM back about two years ago.
Back then you needed to pull special patches together, but Microchannel
is in the standard distribution now.
