I wouldn't bet it would run on a 386 unless the kernel was specifically compiled for that. You are most likely to find the default bloated kernels compiled for a pentium, either classic or pro. I have an old 386 machine in my basement that I've been meaning to load linux on just to see how it performs. I don't know what I would do with it after that, and I must admit it's pretty low on my to-do list...
