If you can get another 64MB of RAM in that beast, I'd say you'll be okay
with Xubuntu. Heck, 64MB would be okay -- not great -- usable. If you're
willing to compile you're own OS, Gentoo would be fine on that machine..

If you're superkeen, contact me off list, I may have 64MB of RAM for that
class machine lying around you can have, but only if you're running Linux on
it ;)
