Basicly any distro, the minimum requirments for linux is 386 with 4 meg,
however you will not be able to run in X as that realy requires a miniumum
of 8 meg.
The biggest problem will be the speed of apps, and the fact that quite
possably you will have disk space problems so you will need to be pikky
about what you install.
I still have a 386 with 4 meg running linux at our local radio club, it has
a 80 meg disk which is 80% full. The swap space on that machine is only 8
meg.
What you can do is just install a base system and add programs as you need
them, all distro's have some sort of package manager so command line
installing is no problem.
