[NTLUG:Discuss] Question...

I assume that's actually 32 Mb RAM instead of 32 Kb <s>.  I use Mandrake
8.1 and really like it but I wouldn't even begin to suggest it on a
system as constrained as you describe.  That said, you'll be extremely
hard-pressed to get any of the desktops to work in 32 Mb, other than
tvfm and the like (the bare-bones "simple" desktops).  Also, a 2 Gb hdd
will limit just how much of any distribution you can install.  You can
do it but you definitely won't be getting the "full experience".
