I had a 386DX, 25 MHz with 4MB and ran Slackware 3.0 with kernel 1.2.13 on it. It worked pretty nicely for me, but I have to say that I spent most of my time on the console. X11 did run but it was too slow to be fun.

I remember using a 3rd party app (KA9Q, I think?) to give me "user level" networking so I could connect to another system over SLIP. I had an early home network built out of serial cables. Once Linux stabilized, the writing was on the wall...
