With 2GB worth of space you should be able to install one of the robust releases without an interface. Like I mentioned before I have a full version of slackware 8.1 running on the same spec's and works like a champ. I know the BSD's will run on a smaller sized HDD as well. I am not too sure what your ultimate goal is out of this computer. Do you have a specific need that you want met by this computer? If so maybe we can all help you further.
