debian-i386 could be a much smaller distro, too. Is anyone really
running XFree86 4.2 or similarly heavyweight programs on such ancient

The slowest machine I ever work with these days is an old Pentium-90 with
32 MB RAM. I won't even put X on that anymore, though it did have X back
when it was my only Linux machine.
