Most Linux distributions will NOT run on XT's. They won't even run on 
AT's or 286 machines. 386 and better are the only architectures 
supported for the IBM PC version of Linux.

I am not sure about Minix. I have seen it on FTP sites where Linux was 
available. ftp://sunsite.unc.edu is one such site. From memory you can 
find it at /pub/linux/distributions/minix, but I'm not entirely sure 
about that :-)
