Mmmm now that I think of it, ... I will install and use 32bit OS/2
Warp 3.0... It ran OK on 4MB RAM systems. In fact, that same laptop
ran OS/2 2.1 -the previous version, with 8MB RAM as minimum suggested
memory- although sluggisly with a lot of swapping if you attempted to
run more than one ram-hungry app.
And there's a port of SANE for it, too...

Thanks everyone for their replies.

It sounds like you've already decided on a solution. That said, the
predecessor to Fedora was Red Hat Linux. Version 7.3 was excellent for
it's day, and I believe it would run on a 486. Red Hat split into what
we know as Fedora and RHEL after Red Hat v9. Though v8 and 9 marked
their switch to Gnome (from Enlightenment) and, iirc, had much heavier
footprints.
