Your only serious consideration is netBSD, as you've found out.  Linux's 
roots were x86 so it hasn't been ported to nearly as many platforms.

For low-resource x86 computing, you can run Minix on an 808x, and 
several variants of AT&T or SCO on 286, and there's an older version of 
Coherent that runs on 286 (3.x and earlier).  I'm biased toward Coherent 
of course...
