It's completely supported, you just have to recompile the colonel.
EDIT: apparently they completely removed 386 support as of 3.8,so it isn't as simple as setting some flags and recompiling but theoretically you could still patch it back in and I think there is even a fork that still maintains 386 support.
Have you tried Tiny Core Linux? It supports a 486DX, but they recommend a Pentium 2. I think the biggest issue you will have is finding programs that will run on such old hardware.

Definitely needs to be posted more frequently. Especially if you can connect this to public transportation. I love public transportation.

Car: huge list of requirements like insurance and all that
Public transport: ticket (optional)

I dunno, my 386 isn't supported anymore

There would be people on Lemmy still using a 386. Of course.

I wish this were true. a lot of my older hardware is no longer supported by new kernels.

32bit left in the shadow rhelm of Ubuntu 14.10

Just because Ubuntu left it behind doesn't mean there aren't distros still supporting 32 bit.
However, anything still running x86 without x86_64 support is hella old at this point.

I'm not even talking about 64-bit systems!

The windows requirements are repeated twice, so it can't be that bad!!

You could run Tiny Core off a brick.
