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.

I've had good experience with D(amn)S(mall)L(inux) on a 65 MB system
booting from the CD. It has a basic and functional gui. I mostly use it
for emergency boots and repairs.
