Steinar BangRetired my last i486 in 2016.
Or: it kind of retired itself...
Bought in 1998 from a friend who bought it new in 1996, replaced win95 (or 98) that was on it when I bought it, with SuSE linux.
When SuSE failed to update it ran for a while using floppyfw (created by a friend of mine)
In 2001, I put a debian netinstall floppy into the floppy disk drive and installed debian and ran "apt dist-upgrade" from 2001 to 2016 when the HW finally failed.
