I use lower spec machines for some of my test stuff, and I run debian on ther no
problem!  It's a little some for compiling and things, but that can be
expected.  Debian is perfectly happy to run on such a small HDD.  I'm sure
nearly any distro would be happy to run on that kind of machine though wouldn't
it?


OH, btw, hello again all, I'm back.
