Linux on 4Mb Laptop.

[Stephen]

I'm looking to install Linux on an old 4Mb Compaq Aero thats just 
gathering dust at the moment.

I've seen a few sites on how it can be done, but they all seem to be 
about installing new versions of linux on old laptops. (Great 
instructions on how to install RedHat6.1 on an old Compaq - but is it 
really worth it?) 

Can anyone recommend what version I should go for? I'm only planning 
to use it for telnet / email and so on, so what's going to be a good 
performance / easy installation compromise.
