distribution for pentium mmx 200mhz, with 32mb ram? kernel >= 2.6.13 required
 
hi, guys!

i know, this question comes up very often: "need a distribution for my old, slow pc"... but my problem is, that i also need a kernel >= 2.6.13 for the drivers of the - only - network card, a wireless usb-stick d-link dwl-g122. so dsl doesn't work, because it has a 2.4 kernel.

what distribution to use? it should'nt be a too complicated one, because the computer belongs to a friend and she doesn't know too much about computers. ;)

here the hardware:
acer extensa 367T with pentiuim mmx 200mhz, 32mb ram, 2gb hard disk.

greets

but with 32mb ram it most likely will run too slow.

use something small, and if needed compile your own kernel
