[Sussex] Which distro?

HI,

I need to install Linux on an old Dell PowerEdge 2200 that's got only 64Mb
of RAM and a wierd gfx card. I'd like to do a non-X/KDE install, so I've
got shell only, but I'd also like to have webmin and several other current
bits that make life easier.

The machine itself is going to be a SAMBA PDC with yp and netatalk for a
mixed LAN.

Anyone got any advice on which distro to go for? I'm currently using
Mandrake 9.1, which is fine, but it's *desparately* slow, hence the need to
dump the GUI's. Of course I can custom install Mandrake, but that a) might
not be the best way and b) I can't pass up an opportunity to play with new
toys.

Thanks

Niall
