You won't be able to use a windowing environment (unless you're very patient), but you can use any of the big BSD's (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD...), many Linux variants will install just fine as long as you do not install and run stuff you don't need (X, servers, etc...). Also, there is Minix, which will run on almost anything Intel (8086 up 'till current - not sure about 64 bit processors, though).
Try name-of-unix.org, example:
freebsd.org
linux.org,
so on...

I'm not sure if anyone sells anything commercially that will still run on 386, but all of the above are free to download.

Also, please learn to use the search function on this site before posting. I'm sure this question has been posted before..

CAS(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    CAS(4)

NAME

     cas -- Cassini/Cassini+ (GigaSwift) Ethernet device driver

SYNOPSIS

     cas* at pci? dev ? function ?

     Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See mii(4).

DESCRIPTION

     The cas driver provides support for the Sun Cassini and Cassini+ (GigaSwift) and the National Semiconductor Saturn Ethernet hardware found in
     Sun UltraSPARC machines and Sun GigaSwift PCI cards.

     Cards supported by this driver include:
	   o   Sun Gigaswift Ethernet (SX fibre variants)
	   o   Sun Gigaswift Ethernet (UTP variants)
	   o   Sun quad Gigaswift Ethernet

SEE ALSO

     brgphy(4), gentbi(4), gphyter(4), ifmedia(4), intro(4), mii(4), ifconfig(8)

     Sun Microsystems, Cassini+ ASIC Specification, http://www.sun.com/processors/manuals/cs_plus.pdf.

HISTORY

     The cas driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1.  NetBSD support was added in NetBSD 6.0.

AUTHORS

     The cas driver was written for OpenBSD by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@openbsd.org>, based on the gem(4) driver, and ported to NetBSD by Julian
     Coleman <jdc@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The cas driver does not support any of the advanced features of the Cassini chip.

     On the SX fibre variants of the hardware, the link may stay down if media options apart from autoselect are chosen.
