[Herefordshire] Linux on really old PCs?

Hello,

Does anyone have experience with putting any form of Linux onto really
old PCs?

Being a bit of a mender and a magpie myself, I'd like to be able to
give what would otherwise be junked, a second chance at being (e.g.) a
terminal that could be connected via a network to a more powerful
server, and share its resources.

I accept that really old PCs may stand less chance of running a
meaningful X-session, or would they? A text-based interface would be
adequate in that case.

All thoughts and musings most welcome, thanks.
