Which of the standard distributions: RedHat, Debian, FreeBSD etc. is
best suited for installation on a PC with little diskspace?

I hope get a webbrowser (preferably Mozilla) (+ whatever is needed) up
and running on a machine with:

- 512 MB persitent memory (a CF card)
- 64 MB standard memory
- 266 MHz Pentium II compatible CPU

using a standard distribution.

It is possible to upgrade the CF card to 1 GB and the standard memory
to 128 MB, if needed.

Any recommendations? Any hints? (size of swap space, ...)
