survpc  =  survivor PC  =  sub-Pentium PC

Slackware is survpc-friendly because even the latest version (8.1) 
runs on a 386, provides a low-mem kernel for systems with less 
than 8mb RAM and supports old non-IDE CDroms.  And (incredibly) 
it even supports pre-IDE (two cable) harddrives and MicroChannel 
systems.  I know of no other up-to-date, mainsteam distro that 
provides that much upfront support for old hardware.

Cheers,
Steven
