Question Distro for PentiumPro MMX 266 mhz, 64mb RAM?


I have an old piece of junk Quantex TS30H with a 16-bit graphics card, 266 MHZ pentium pro w/mmx, 64 mb ram and a 4 gig hard drive. No floppy drive, but has CD. I want a distro that can be installed onto the hard drive and can peacefully coexist with Windoze 98 until i am done using it. I would also like something really fast, and Damn small linux looks horrible (green and white. can't read it.)It also has to be free.


Thanks,
siliconpie
i am a complete n00b to Linux.

stingo, how do i do that? Oh, and i tried Gentoo a while ago, and it won't work. (can't even get to the installer).
And if i can't fix DSL, i will use slack (i have both disks)
