 Why?  I have slower non-x86 hardware that boots current Linux.  This box 
at least has 128MiB of RAM (I still look forward to doubling it if I find 
the right modules) and boots quite quickly.  It's portable (luggable) too.

 It doesn't provide the environment to verify that EISA FDDI networking 
(defxx.c) continues to operate as expected though.
