AntiX, Tiny Core, or SliTaz should work on it.

Looks interesting but....
Web sites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for multibootcd.exton.net expired on 19/01/2020.

Other than that worth a look

Cheers

Single drive, I could upgrade memory quite cheaply from Ebay - might consider it
