Almost anything. None of the current distros, afaik, require 96MB for
their install. If you do want to try something else, though, Slackware
is a very lean, no-frills distribution that does things differently to
most Linux distributions. You can learn a lot from trying it out
because its architecture is simpler than Red Hat or Debian (and quite
BSD-like) and shows just how simple and elegant a *nix set-up can be.
