I belive that Slackware 7 would probobly be your best bet.  "Windows" flys on
8mb of RAM and a p100 also (Windows 3.11 that is)  With low specs like that, HD
space will also be a premium.

you could probobly use Slackware 8.0... but Mandrake and RedHat would be poor
choices as they are both geared towards GUI useage.
