You had better "salvage" options in 96 than I did. The Pentium 166 was newly released in 1996. 486SX33 was easy to come by in 96 for me, though, and it was easy to get slackware running on, too. Though I did let the smoke out of one monitor with a bad X modeline.

- nobleach 5y agoYou're right. The first machine I installed Linux on wasn't my own. It was a friend's Pentium, and he had partitioned a drive. It was 98/99 before I was regularly trying out distros from Cheapbytes, Linux Mall, etc. My dad's company closed their doors in 99/2000ish so that would have been when I was finding those Pentiums.
