Hello!
Recently I found one old 286 computer.
Is there any way to bring it back to life? Can I set up Linux on it and if I can, where can I find linux version that will run on 286?
Any ideas, suggestions? Tell me all of them.

Yeah - you'd need to have at least a 386, because that's what Linus originally wanted to code for.
Try DOS versions earlier than about 4.2 (I think) for a system that may work.

Are there any other possibilities than DOS 4.2 or earlier?
