If it has enough memory (4M) you can at least use it as
a basic Linux box.

I've got an ancient 4M *386* which runs Linux fine
(though I wouldn't want to do X with it).

That's assuming it still functions.  If not, I'd say
as a doorstop it's just fine. :-)

[what's even funnier is that I've got a 486 that has
a smaller motherboard than the 386 :-) ]

But isn't Microsoft part of the public? :-)
