suse. install in manual mode, minimum distro; use blackbox or windowmaker, mozilla. Put in 64M more RAM for 20 bucks. KDE or Gnome would be slow though.

My web server is a PII 233 using plone, apache, mod_perl, and mod_gzip, iptables, sshd, I haven't had any resources issues or complaints.

I'll second the Suse recommendation. I had an older Suse running headless (no X) on an even smaller box (P133, 64Mb) without significant problems.	[reply]
