Have an old 486 gathering dust for many years with a smallish HD (540mb I
think).

What distribution of Linux is best to do what I'd like to do. I'd also like
to be able to do some sort of remote administration of the webserver etc
from my main PC running Win XP. Doesn't matter if the distro is old so long
as it's small and does what I need.

Preferably I'd like to have some sort of PHP functionality.

This will be the first time I have used linux too so if there's one that's
particularly easy to install and use and it meets my requirements that would
be even better.

Thanks in advance,

Regards
