[plug] bare bones linux for Pentium 100 with 32mb ram

[Craig Ringer]

I've tried RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, and Debian (potato) for an old p100 box 
for a minimalist firewall.

In my experience all the RPM based distros tend to have packages that are 
bloated with extras, and too many dependencies on weird things, making it 
hard to get a lean install.

Debian is probably the way to go for any low spec system.
