I thought of DSL. But it needs an i486. :-(

I was thinking more along the lines of really old Debian releases,
something that would be contemporary with the hardware.
In view of the kernel problem, you are obviously right. But in general, I
would rather use something that is security updated. So I was trying to
think of other possibilities.

On the other hand, the old releases were updated for all the security
problems known at the time. They may well be immune to newer issues
introduced after the release became unsupported and there may be few
people trying attacks that haven't worked on atypical computers in over
a decade.
