No, you can't actually. Every Linux distro comes in i386 as well as i686
flavours, which will run just fine on your old hardware - as you already know
perfectly well because you mentioned it yourself earlier in the thread.
Cygwin OTOH is just too small-scale and simply does not have the resources
to provide multiple arch distributions, so we picked the one that will do the
best for the most people.
... also, Get A Real CPU. Cyrix CPUs suck, and always have! <runs away>
cheers,
