More Linux 486 distributions:
ttylinux
The goal of the ttylinux project is to provide a small, up-to-date Linux distribution that runs on the smallest x86 system possible, yet does provide an environment very similar to a larger distribution. The key features are listed below.
Hardware requirements
* 386SX processor or better
* 5 MB of RAM for hard disk installation, 10 MB for ramdisk installation
* 4 MB filesystem size for hard disk installation
* modem or ISDN card (if you want Internet dial-out)
Software features
* command line interface, no graphical user interface (GUI)
* Internet dial-out (firewalled) via modem or ISDN card
* text mode web browser installed by default

DragonLinux
Recently resurrected…
DragonLinux is a complete Linux operating system distribution that has been customized to install on top of versions of Microsoft Windows or any version of DOS. This version is ideal for the new or beginning user who needs to learn, evaluate, teach or demonstrate Linux. Even more advanced users will enjoy the quick install and ability to co-exist with their existing desktop environment. DragonLinux offers simplicity through ease of installation, minimal initial configuration and no repartitioning of hard drives. Unlike most major Linux distributions, DragonLinux does not require you to risk your data by forcing you to repartition your hard drive.
New in this version of DragonLinux is the Loopback file-system. This allows for installation on Windows and DOS partitions, while utilizing the Native Linux (ext2) file system with almost no performance loss. DragonLinux does not require an extremely powerful system to run. Recommended system requirements: 486 or Pentium class CPU; 8MB RAM for console, 32-64MB for X-Windows; A FAT16 or FAT32 partition with 50-130 megabytes of hard disk space free for minimal install. DragonLinux is fully compatible with Slackware v7.1 packages, and contains limited support for RPM packages. Other packages are available from both Linux Mafia and the Slackware FTP Site.

To sum up, Linux Timon is a Telnet Client and a Terminal Server Client.
Linux Timon has a 2.4.27 Kernel, the root is a busybox 1,0 compiled with uclib, and for the Terminal Server Client it has an rdesktop that’s compiled with uclib and svgalib.

muLinux
muLinux is a minimalistic Linux distribution, suitable for old computers. X11, GCC, VNC, SSH, Samba, Netscape etc. are supported on additional addon floppies. It can be installed from DOS/Win9x or Linux, without repartitioning.
The “mu” stands for a Greek letter (see Unicode Latin-1 char 0x0b5) frequently used for indicating the millionth part of something. for example: “mu meter” (µm) stands for micro meter and is the one millionth part of a meter. The reason for the name “muLinux” is its tiny size.
