Personally, I would use BL3 with the 486 and BL2 with
the Pentium. With 72mb RAM the Pentium is powerful
enough to run demanding glibc binaries (like Opera),
which is easier on a BL2 foundation.

However, when I have a bit of spare time, I'd like
to experiment with installing libraries from a recent
Slackware on BL3 and trying to run Opera (or Phoenix).

Cheers,
Steven
