O dosemu! Some advice: Use Caldera's builds with DrDOS.imgs if at all
possible: it's set up (on a Caldera box) so that it can read and write
to the Linux ext2 filesystem through Novell NetWare Lite, apparently.
Anyway, the ext2 fs is available as drive L:\. (I believe this is
undocumented; I found it by experimeting.

If you don't mind installing everything from a floppy, (and saving to
it if you want to see your work under Linux) the redhat version works
fine with Freedos, especially xdos, which gives back use of the F-keys
for programs like WP5.1. It's included under powertools. It's not very
recent but it has never crashed for me (although, truly, I don't use
it very much.) I cannot find the ext2 fs or any other partition from
Freedos, so I find I must save my work to a floppy. Sheesh!
