Actually there are versions just for those old things

The ELKS Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset
http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/

as far as SCO Xenix,  I have that.  Originaly for the 286 it runs without a
problem on 386, 486, and pentium class machines.  Maybe more but who cares
anyway.  I have it running on a 486 with two big ESDI Drives in a Full
Tower.  It's still here because it's to heavy and worthless to move.
