It depends on what sort of load you expect, but I've got a Pentium

I have a low volume web server running in a Pentium 120.
(No roman numerals after the word Pentium.) It has
120meg of ram, and all it does is serve a small newsletter
web site for a small company.

The OP wanted ftp/nfs/samba as well, and a machine that small can do
all of those things, not not for vary much of a load.

I wouldn't look for another distro, I'd look for more memory that
better use of cache could be had.
