My home router/firewall/IDS/DNS/DHCP/proxy/etc. box is a 6x86P90+ (128MB RAM) 
that I've had for 10 years (and I bought it used).

Here's a thought:  It would be very nice to have a kernel & glibc that would 
work on this box so that I can run the distro and keep it updated.  Of 
course, if the set of kernels shipped with FC didn't include any pre-686 
variants then I could just build my own.  In that case, I want it to build 
them from that same SRPM, if possible.
