Hi all, I have an old computer sitting in the closet that I'd like to fiddle around with Linux on. It has the following:

Pentium 133
2 GB HD
32 MB ram

Which distribution and GUI do you guys recommend that will allow it to work reasonably well for simple internet and word processing use?

Depending on how this all goes, i might give up on WinXP on my laptop in the future...

Thanks and much regards,

An older version of Slackware, like say 8.1 with Fluxbox or Blackbox as the GUI however even that ain't gonna fly with 32megs of ram as you will most likely be "swapping" all the time.
