Vector was my first suggestion. What about the install didn't take?

Its interesting that you asked this cause I had the exact same question. I'll be getting a hand-me-down 200 mhz computer for christmas and I was wonder what distro i could put on it. I'd probably go with slackware and if you wanted X server go with open box or something, but I wouldn't have any gui if i were you

Slack, only Slack!:cool:
Easily customizeble, choose your DE (desktop environment) or work without it at all.
you can also give a shot to Vidalinux. It's i686 optimized. Very fast. Gentoo based
