It’s got a headphone jack! AND a volume knob! Right on the drive!!
What version of Linux would you even put on there?
Someone here said NetBSD could work. Another person sent a link to someone who did manage to get linux on a floppy disk, that could work.
Honestly I have no idea. It's further down on my want-to-do list, and the only thing I can personally think of (without having done any research on it) is like linux from scratch, or a similar source version where I disable almost every kernel feature, and suffer through finding the right settings to enable for this hardware.
