RE: [PLUG] mini Linux


Do you have 64MB of RAM or HDD space? If it is 64MB of RAM, how much HDD space do you have? I know you can get “damn small linux” onto a 50MB drive and ZipSlack (slackware) onto a 100MB drive.

Subject: [PLUG] mini Linux

 

I am looking for suggestions...

 

I have a old IBM PC, 64Mb ram.

Being frugal, and trying to squeeze the last bit of functionality out of everything,

does anyone have a suggestion for a (mini?) version of Linux that would

function with this spec?

 

I would set it up as an ISP dialup device, with a basic firewall using iptables.

 

Would it be asking too much to have a tiny little gui?

 

Thanks in advance.
