    i didnt see anyone mentioning puppy linux, its an option.

    you might even be able to run a twm or openbox style GUI if you have enough ram.

      I run puppy Linux 4.20 on a p3 laptop with 192 mb of ram. It’s fine. It feels as heavy as windows me. A p2 with 32 mb of ram might be a bit tough.
