Archaic Distribution Recommendation

[SonicMonkey]

I've been running Mint 7 on my new machine for a while, and it's been really good to me, but I get bored easily. I've always been interested in older technology, and have recently obtained and restored a 12-year-old laptop. It currently has Windows 98 on it, but I want to switch it up a bit with some open-source action. I've already tried a few distributions of Linux, but they halt upon installing (I've even left it brewing for a few hours, just to be sure). This all brings me to the ultimate question; where can I get an old, old distro of Linux/Ubuntu/Whatever that will run on this old laptop?

Here are the specs:

Model: Acer Extensa 700/710 Series
CPU: Pentium(r) II Processor
Memory: 96.0 MB RAM


Hope you can help,
Dan.

There are some Distros made especially for low spec systems. Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux, ...

Puppy Linux increased their system requirements from 64Mb to 128Mb - but you can still use an old version. See their website for information.
