Slackware might have worked too. I haven't tried Slackware 15, but when i was developing Post Apocalyptic Petra[0] (a DOS game for an MSDOS game jam) a couple of years ago and was trying to do some performance profiling, i did try the immediate previous version of Slackware in 86box emulating a 300MHz Pentium MMX[1] and it worked fine (though sadly "prof" didn't work since it required some functionality introduced in later CPUs, so i couldn't do the profiling).
I do remember that i had to replace a file in the ISO for it to boot (it was a mistake on Slackware's side and there was a patch for it in the forums) but i think this was patched in "current" so Slackware 15 should not need it.
