AFAIK, all standard "Linux" is 32-bit (including Caldera's - I run that at
work), so that would preclude running it on anything less than a 386SX.
Of course, there are exceptions, like uCLinux which is 16-bit -- AFAIK it
only runs on 68K systems and right now is ported to (ObCC:) Atari ST and
3Com's PalmPilot, if you have a TRG upgrade board (which body-slams 8Mb RAM
into your Pilot! :-)
This is the only exception that I know of, but there may be more.
If you'd like to know more about uCLinux, go here:
