Special Forums UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers Where can I find a Unix OS that will run on a 386 processor? Post 24627 by auswipe on Monday 15th of July 2002 10:05:04 PM

What are you planning to do?

You can use a small BSD like picoBSD and EmbeddedBSD. You should also be able to get NetBSD to run on such a small HD.

You could probably get Debian or Slackware Linux on it as well. The big thing I guess would to install minimal with just the binaries.
