    Welcome to the forums!

    I don't know anything about the specifications on the computers you mentioned above, but you can check the following link for favorite distro for older/weaker computer hardware:

    You might be able to check the website of each distro mentioned in the poll for their system requirements to see if they match your hardware.

    Hope it works out well for you.

    I think that most AS/400 systems ran on an IBM based PowerPC processor.

    You should be able to find some references on that.
