Linux on old laptop - still trying...

[Drew Van Zandt]

I've run Debian recently on a 586/133 (AMD of some sort?) with 64 MB
of RAM, and it was fine once I trimmed out a little of the extra
crud... in particular switching to a low-demand X window manager
helped.  I can't remember which I ended up using, unfortunately, but
it was based on googling for something pretty straightforward like "x
window manager embedded"
