Are there any distros that could run on a pentium 2?

Edit: I am trying to put linux on a compaq armada 1700.

Is nobody gonna ask?!? Why do you have a pentium 2? I like old hardware as much or more than the next guy but man that’s old. And this from a guy who has a working Commodore 64 🤣
throwing Linux on ancient hardware is a time honored tradition
Some time ago I scalvanged some old hardware my old school was gonna throw out.
Oh I get it. I hate to see hardware that could be useful being thrown out. Hence the reason I have stacks of 1TB hard drives with no real use.
I have a long term goal of running my home automation system on that commodore for no other reason than it’s weird. So I get it.
I never even thought to ask "why"...
I've got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.
retro enthusiast community has been growing a lot in recent years, especially with youtube channels like 8-bit guy, LGR, MVG and such
I mean I guess. Just in my opinion a Pentium 2 is too new to be old and too old to be new. Something like 386 or a Coco2, that’s cool.
I deal with a lot of old hardware in my lab but sometimes it’s just too much trouble. But whatever floats your boat. Last thing I’ll be is judgey about what brings you happiness. I mean I’m currently playing with Proxmox on a 2013 Mac Pro because I think it’s fun. And some people (cough ..cough.. my wife) wonder why 🤣
I run Proxmox on a 2103 trashcan. It is awesome.
Where did you get a trashcan from 2103 you time traveler you.. I want one.
