Hi!
You might want to test VsTA (http://www.vsta.org - tiny little
microkernelish OS). Plus there are some Linux-class oses to try:
FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org, hopefully) and GNU HURD
(http://www.gnu.org should give you some links, I do not have browser
handy).

PS: I tried todays snapshot with HAL-91 uLinux, and it got up-to dying
because of no coprocessor. Wow!
Putting write-protected bootdisk makes emulator crash with pretty
unfriendly messages.
...
Current instruction:
FF53.00010002 0000 addb %al, (%bx,%si)
Of course, somewhere above it does say "read-only filesystem", but
that's two screens above.
It would be nice to include this in official distro:
