DSL is very undemanding and a 486 is more than enough processing power to allow the X-Windows GUI to work. I think DSL is a good idea as a backup OS, because even if you have a DOS-type bootloader written to the MBR on your hard-disk like I have with FreeDOS, you can still boot up in Linux with a DSL LiveCD. In the case of DSL, you can even set aside a tiny 50 Megabyte Linux partition on your hard-disk and then have the option of booting up with either a full-featured modern Linux (DSL) or DOS.

First of all, if that is so, you just made my day. Second, what does MBR mean? And can I install DSL to my harddrive? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I have no idea.
