Noted.  Still, as others have pointed out, there should be some compact
distro that will run.  My first laptop had 48MB RAM and a 1.3GB hard disk,
and I was running Slackware 7 on it.  I had to pick and choose which packages
I installed to fit on that disk, but it happily ran fvwm and I even ran some
Windows programs under Wine.
