QNX would be ideal in any case provided it supports RISC processor and
source is available.
As regards Linux+GUI (latest versions) I doubt if that can be squeezed in 16
MB space.
You can use mulinux which has GUI support also, but it is available for 386
only.  In my opinion you will have to hand pick the source code for old
version of Linux and recompile for RISC processor.
I have installed linux (just out of curiosity) in this way on 486 to squeeze
it for a 1.2 Mb disk (no GUI).
Mail me if need help.
