Which version of Mandrake should I use?


I think I'm going to eventually change it so all of my computers run linux. It is currently on my secondary desktop, and a dualboot with Win XP on my primary laptop (since I need windows for work). I now want to install it on my secondary laptop. It's kind of old, so I'm hesitant to put Mandrake 10.1 on it. It is an IBM ThinkPad i1456. It is a Pentium II, about 233 MHz with 64 MB of RAM. I know I will have to use a text mode installer, but which version of Mandrake would best suit a 233 MHz PII 64 MB ram laptop?
