I want to install Linux in an old Pentium PC I just bought (a Pentium 233 w/
128M ram) . Since I know nothing about Linux, which is the best flavor (and
version) to install? I was thinking of Fedora but I want your opinions. I
also don't want to spend over $20 on the OS (so officials versions wouldn't
apply to me).

Thanks.
