Greetings all .

 You may want to try out Minix.  ( minix.org)
The current iteration of minix is Minix 3 ( minix3.org )
meant specifically for old hardware.  if the current version does not work, then the old version 2 will.

I plut this on a 386 Packard Bell that my wife had from before we were married.. it was a little slow but I had a good deal of fun with it.

 One caveat in the older version of Minix.. you will need to recompile the kernel to include networking.. Its a fast fix which is well documented on the site.  The people are also very helpful.

Hope that helps !

Mark

You might be able to run console based Linux on it if you can find one that will run from floppy.
