Linux won't run on a 286 or XT by the way.
*Unix* didn't run on a 286. There were a couple of attempts
(including one from AT&T) that died horribly due to lack of HW memory
management. It only became practical when the 386 was in common use.
I ran a 286 Altos Xenix multiuser in 1988 just fine, Unix-y enough I couldn't

Don't forget SCO Xenix 286. ;)
