Question distro


I know in the sticky it says not to ask this, but I looked through all the other suggestions first and can't find what I want. Currently I am running RH9 on my secondary box. That box is supposed to be my firewall, router, webserver, ftp server, ssh server etc. It does all these things quite nicely, and I am quite satisfied, however my girlfriend is starting school soon, and since I use this computer a lot I thought it would be nice to have another so she can type papers or whatever while I'm working. Now my nice stable 600mb server has become a slow POS 2gb install. Is there any distro that will meet all my server needs while providing for a light weight GUI for my girlfriend to run open office? The computer is a 400Mhz k6/2 with 64 mb of ram and a 2.5 gb hd. Thanks everyone.
