Linux distro, suggestions
Ohoy!
I was wondering what Linux distribution you'd recommend to an old computer: 486 @ 66MHz 12MB RAM (4+4+4) ~400MB Hard drive 4x CD-ROM I willl use it primarly as a web server and if possible also a DNS server. So I'm looking for a small distro that matches the system requirements above and use around 100-200 megs of space preferably less  Any suggestions?

Try either debian (visit linuxworld.com their PCs for peanuts article will help you out) or slackware. I myself am a SuSE user but the later mentioned distros are very good to get more punch out of older systems.

I'd have to agree with debian. However, I have an old IBM Thinkpad: 486-75, 20MB ram, running Red Hat 6.2. X is slow, but what do you want =)
