Is there a current Linux will work on an Pentium 1 processor? Eg. a
very old laptop that orig. ran Win 95.

All i386 based kernels will work assuming driver compatibilities.
It's the amount of ram and the tasks you want the computer to
perform and the speed requirement that will be the determining
factors whether or not you will be happy with it.

If you could provide a detailed list of the hardware envolved,
that would enable us to give better feedback.

later.....
