Not to bash on about it or anything, but.... ;)

I had an old 770Z for a while that quite happily ran Redhat 9. Sure, it
wasn't a ball of fire (or as old as your machine), but it got the job
done. I wonder whether something like Damn Small Linux
(http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/) would be suitable for a machine of that
vintage? (and just to bring it back on topic...) If (sorry, when) IBM
ditch the TP range, we'll have to keep alive as much of the old hardware
as possible!
