Can I recommend Slackware 8.1 ? It is very modern, comes on a single CD,
and is a good primer in what actually goes on under the hood -- it
taught me a lot of what is necessary and what is cruft in a
distribution. I have recently upgraded my Pentium 60's from RedHat 6.2
to Slackware 8.1 and it can still cope! Send my your address and I'll
send you a copy gratis.

Regards,

Michael.
