[Tfug] Best Distro for P120

FWIW

I run Debian 2.2 (potato) on an old 486-25 laptop with 16M Ram. I run X with
FVWM as it seems to run leaner than blackbox. It is a single purpose machine
that I use for programming my Lego Mindstorms Robots (using NQC and NEdit).
I spent a lot of time trimming as much as possible. I works fairly well.

I have tried many of the little freenix distros out there including Damn
Small Linux, PicoBSD and a few others whose names escape me. While they were
all rather interesting and some would probably have suited my needs, I'm too
much of a Debian bigot to stay away from it for long.
