<I'm fighting back the temptation to reply in all caps with <b><i> s all over the place....> Tried Minix? It would probably really scream on that machine, being a 286... If you belive that it had windows at one point, I'll assume you have a hard drive (Minix doesn't require it, but it's nice to have) I have used Minix on a Leading Edge XT clone with 512k or RAM. It runs perfectly well there. :) Alternatively, find yourself a copy of Geo Works, which will like your 286 fine, and has a much better GUI than windows 95.
