YOu certainly won't be able to run a desktop environment on a machine like 
that.

You should be able to run a command-line environment.

I'm not sure how well speech synthesis would work on such a system, you 
might need some speech hardware.

And getting audio output to work on a systemthat old can be a bit 
interesting.

good luck!
