Certainly, yes. There is (or was) an early version of Linux that would
run on the 8086, though god knows how it managed memory.

I also have a feeling that the predecessor to SCO OpenServer, SCO Unix,
ran on lower-end hardware (perhaps 286 at a minimum.)  I threw out a
copy of OpenServer 5 (with licence) a couple weeks ago.

How about Minix?  What was the minimum requirement for that?
