I ran a diskless 386DX 33mhz in my bedroom for many years, because it didn't make any noise. It ran a cut-down Linux distribution based on slackware, and I used it as a terminal and for small programming tasks.
I also kept it around for sentimental reasons, as it was the machine I did most of my early coding on. It didn't feel right to throw it out.
So thanks, Linux, for supporting my old junk hardware as long as you did! And congrats on losing ~400 lines of crufty code.
