Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Probably all will work. The biggest limitation is memory. With 64 or 128MB I'd even try to run KDE With 16MB you should stay with less moemory-hungry window managers, like Blackbox (if you want GUI at all). Distributions: Slackware probably.
Earlier this year I successfully installed Vector Linux 1.8 on a 90 MHz desktop with 16 Mb RAM and 1 Gb disk. Can't say much about performance as I haven't really used it since.
Originally posted by OSourceDiplomat I have used Slackware-based VectorLinux when I needed a Linux for older iron. Not sure it will run with those specs, though.
