Which distribution with 32Mo ram ?
A friend of mine owns a laptop which has 32 MO RAM (EDO), and AMD 266MMX processor and 3.2 GO Hdd.
He wonders wich distro he can install on his computer.
Any suggestions ?

Definitely a lightweight. You might consider Damn Small Linux:

Damn Small Linux is a good choice. Here is a link to the wiki article about installing to the hard drive: http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index..._the_Hard_Disk

Yes, that's what he means.
edit: though make sure to try the 'standard' edition, as the 'SOHO' has a bit more... well, stuff.Stumbling around the 'net:

From Vectorlinux.com
1. System Requirements
======================
- VectorLinux 4.3 Download Edition (minimum requirements):
Pentium Classic 166 MHz
32 MB of RAM
At least 835 MB free of hard disk space plus 64 MB of swap space.
To have a more comfortable experience with VectorLinux 4.3 we would recommend a 233 MHz (MMX) processor with 64 MB of memory as a minimum.
You could try adding some ram.If you want to learn more about linux take a linux journey

Damnsmalllinux would run better on that machine than Vector, I mean, because it can run on 486s too, so you would be fine on it with a frugal install.
