Aaagh!! Too many versions of Linux!! Which one for me??

I used to have an old version of Slackware. But at the time it was a new version (about 8 years ago). Someone else was looking for and found an old version of Slackware here (was it Tux?). Search the Linux forum for "slackware" and the thread should be there with a link to the old Slackware distro downloads.

how hard can it be to choose from 298 different distrobutions.
How fast is the 486? RAM?
Any major distrobution would be fine (Red Hat, Mandrake)

My suggestion is Coyote Linux http://www.coyotelinux.com which I use on my old ass laptop that doesnt even have a cdrom. Its text only, and it requires skill, but the good thing is that you dont need a hard drive.....lol. If you have a cdrom and dont want to try out a full install yet, check out Virtual Linux http://www.virtual-linux.org which is great because often I will be at school and I want to show off linux to other computer science students. This allows me to show it using any pc without installing it. The version I use is based on Mandrake 7.2 and runs good on an old 200 mhz clunker. Of course a full distro is the way to go and Mandrake, Redhat, Slackware, SuSe, Debian, and a whole hell of a lot of other places make great distros.
