I'd figure the earliest thing anybody has run Linux on before this would be a 386. Although I suppose with this MIPS emulator ported to some other proto-processors it could go older, but just getting the hardware to do that would be a challenge.

PS: love the VFD

There was a 286 Xenix, and Minix (which inspired Linux) ran on an 8088.
