You can download Linux which is almost like unix. It will run on almost anything from a 386 up. You can check this post for details of the different distributions available.

If you want unix and not Linux, your best bet is to download Solaris 10. I dont think that there would be problems running it on your Pentium, the requirements page is quite clear on that: check it out.
