I have an identical machine with a slightly faster celeron coppermine @ 566MHz, and 32MB of memory. DSL was the only distro that I could install on it (from which, I expanded it into a Frankenstein: on my system, the S has now come to stand for 'sloppy', because I forgot to use a package manager and installed everything from source. Ah well, I can fix that later, I plan to rebuild from my system using the pkg-utils from crux, to allow for package admin.)
Not even Arch Linux could boot for an installation in 32MB, so there's no way I'll be replacing the OS anytime soon. (Works like a charm with the glibc and gcc from Ubuntu 5.04 too. A little more bloated than the standard DSL perhaps, but still within reasonnable limits, aside from the time I compiled with 'g++ -O20'.)
--------------
System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.
