I'm still a big fan of debian (w/ gentoo a close second); there is probably some nice hardware to replace your 386. I went and got a small piece of hardware (a NTA350-0H0W-B-A-NA), cost me under $200 with a 64GB SSD and 8GB of ram. That model is discontinued now, but hardware has gotten very cheap!
