I have multiple copies of older OSs that will run on the machine.
DOS / Windows: MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS, Windows 3.x, Windows
9x, Windows NT 3.x, Windows NT 4
Novell: NetWare 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, maybe 6.x
OS/2: Warp 3, Warp 4
Linux: (multiple)
FreeBSD: (multiple)
SCO OpenServer 5.<something>, UnixWare 7.<something>

I don't know how much memory is installed in the machine. But i would
expect that various versions of all of the above can install and run on
a machine with between 16 MB and 64 MB. As for drive, anything between
200 MB and 2 GB will likely work.
I know that I've had Linux installed on the machine before.
There are a LOT of options on such machines.
One thing that I really like is the fact that it's a combination of PCI
and EISA bus. Which means that I can mess with just about any add-on /
expansion card that I want to. — Save for MCA and VLB. Though I doubt
that I'll want to play with those cards.
