there are many "small" distro out there
many list are available on this forum, if you're confortable with command line, i would sugegst Gentoo... installatin might take "days" with that amount of ram BUT it'll run fast after the setup\"Meditative mind\'s is like a vast ocean... whatever strikes the surface, the bottom stays calm\" - Dalai Lama

I'd recommend Feather Linux, purely because it uses XVESA or XFBsomethingorother, both are small (tho insecure) x servers and Im running it on a 350mhz, 64mb ram machine and its absolutely flying. Only thing is the HD install of feather linux 0.71 is borked! so download 0.70
