Neither. On the generic Ubuntu Dapper kernel:

Same sets are there on the default x86 Debian Sarge kernels, but
understandably not on sparc64.
Excellent. This means that, memory and cpu target permitting, I can use
recent distros on older hardware.
I know that Redhat switched over to Pentium-and-higher only CPU targets
a while ago; do any of the major pre-compiled distros (Fedora Core,
Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) still support 386?

Linux supported way more of those funky, proprietary
IDE like CDROMs.
But most likely this junk was removed from (semi) recent kernels.
Removed from the
SOURCE tree, or from most compiled distros?
