One of the listed distributions is Gentoo. I've finally gotten Gentoo
loaded on a Pentium III w/ 512 MBytes RAM. It was a very difficult
ordeal. Theoretically, you can build a 32-bit system with Gentoo, but
almost any recent desktop environment or browser will require 64-bit
libraries and/or a processor capable of sse2 instructions to build on
Gentoo.
It's bad enough that __I'm__ a dinosaur, but now one of my favorite old
laptops is too! :)
