Unless you have a computational need for intensive floating point, the 280 should work with a kernel that includes the GNU software floating point support, meaning you don't need a real FPU. This used to be the default for most generic kernel builds, though it may not be nowadays. It's long been possible to run Linux this way because of all the FPU-less 386 and 486SX machines out there.
