Linux with Xfree86 (you could try a "package" such as SLS) should be
just what you want. 4 MB RAM is a bit small for X though (I have only
4 MB on my 386DX and find X a bit slow, but still useable).  Major ftp
site is tsx-11.mit.edu in /pub/linux.

You could also try out 386BSD I suppose, I don't know much about that though.
