No.  Linux requires at least an MMU (Memory Managment Unit).  The
80186 does not have an MMU, hence you can not have Linux on such a
machine. 

There _is_ Elks though

But this doesn#t really do anything usefull yet.  In particular:

That is a PocketPC, NOT a PoqetPC.  Quite different beasts really.
