It gives you the best control of what gets installed or not of any distro I know, including a choice of several "installer" kernels depending on your install needs. So, you might be able to get a more or less contemporary 2.6 kernel version on that 486 and not have to go back 10 or more years to find something that works. Although, the 8MB of RAM will be the problem. Of course, there are a "tiny" Linuxes out there to choose from.
