Nope.  Pentium Pro(i686) or higher.  I tried to install 11.0 on a K6-2
and it refused, because it said that i586 is not supported by the
current kernel.

I could test the PPro part.  I have 2 boards somewhere with PPro 200's
and 128MB RAM........However, I ran 10.2 on one of them and it wasn't
fast enough, even as a server.  scp speeds on a 100Mb card was under
2MB/s, and the cpu was pegged at 100%.
