My parents have been given and old Nimrod PC which they do not have a use
for.  I believe it to be pre-286 (can't see an obvious CPU inside?) and
currently has DOS 3.3, MS Word v1 and MS Works v1 running on it.  It has a
32MB hard drive and 10-12"? Monochrome monitor.
Is there any practical use for such a machine in a Linux environment?
I an currently looking for a good 486 or similar to get some network
experience with.

regards,
 Nathan.
