My machine that I am typing on now has those same specs (PI-233MMX) and I
am using Gentoo (2004.1). It takes a while to install but it is one step
above building a custom distro from scratch.
I origonally set it up just to be a router, but when my roommates PC died,
I threw on X, blackbox, and Opera and now we use it as a dedicated
browser/e-mail/news/programming machine. You don't have to worry so much
about overhead because you can customize every stage of the install.
Dependencies area taken care of for you as well.
Just my $0.02.
