Ugh. Find Warp (OS/2 v3 ) if you plan on playing with OS/2. It had more
drivers included.
If you find IBM Visualage software, you'll get C/C++ and with enough
hunting - Smalltalk.
I always wanted to play with that, but couldn't justify the $$$$ needed.

Doubles
your core speed and adds the math co-processor in

Cool. I didn't know that it would drop in like that.
I found images of OS/2 installation disks on a possibly dodgy
"abandonware" site. 2.0 installation crashed on the second disk. 2.1 made
it all the way through the 20th disk, then hung at "Updating the system
configuration" (but with mouse pointer still movable) and yielded a system
that doesn't boot past the loading screen. The system passes its diagnostic
tests, but maybe the scsi2sd is incompatible in some way, or maybe a
different distribution is needed for this machine?
