My first Linux box was very similar. SLS it ran, 120 meg (and very
flaky ST-1144A, later had to replace it with a Maxtor that lasted some
7 years or so). 4 megs of RAM, later upgraded to 8.
The ST was a nightmare and I kept having to copy things elsewhere to
make sure there weren't any bad spots, which there were - the drive
probably didn't last a year or two - on the outside.
Box was a Packard Hell 386sx/16.

Well, you've mentioned Etch, Lenny, and Debian, so this must be on-topic. ;)
