I have an old machine I want to erase Window ME from and install Linux on,
it has a 2 gigabyte hard drive and 90meg of RAM, a DIGITAL P180, any advice
offered on which version of Linux might suit this old box. Basically I just
want to play around with it in home network with windows boxes I am using
through a switch to a small CISCO router with separate VLANS.
