How much machine do I need to run some version of linux? Can I get
something to run on a 386 or 486? Or maybe I should just make a DOS
machine? Thanks.

Hi all, I want a distro which is relatively stable, but not hard to
keep some components up to date, especially accessibility components
like Orca, as well as Firefox. In principle, I don't want a full
desktop environment, just enough to run Firefox plus Orca, and
possibly other desktop apps later. I have successfully set up
ratpoison a few years ago with the help of the Strychnine script
developed by Storm, so maybe the easiest path is to get it again.
I'd like opinions on the distro to use. ArchLinux has the advantage of
requiring few disk space and always having the latest software, but
I've tried it some years ago, and it appears too prone to break
things, especially the audio stuff due to constant upgrading. Is it
still true today? Another option is Debian unstable, which I've never
tried. Does it use to break too? I've also read about VoidLinux. Has
anyone tried it yet? I know about Slint as well, but the manual states
that it requires 50 gb disk space at least, and I'm currently out of
disk space, around 15 gb at most.
Thanks for comments,
Cleverson
