I posted a little while ago about this machine that I have 'inherited'
from a friend.

Proc: Pentium 120
RAM: 48MB (upgraded from 16)
Hard Drives: (1) 3GB and (1) 2GB

This machine has no CD ROM (and no space for it since there are 2 Hard
Drives) a Network Card and 3.5 inch floppy. It is currently running
Windows 95 and at one time was configured to boot to Windows NT 4.0
Workstation.

I would like to set this machine up to learn Linux. I already have a
machine running Mandrake 9.0 but I don't feel that I am learning
anything with it. I would like to get more familiar with the command
line, maybe run a webserver and mysql, a minimal desktop environment, if
any, etc. I would like to stay with mandrake, if this is posible. If
not, can someone recommend another distribution of Linux? As I said,
there is only the network card and the 3.5 inch floppy to install
anything. 

I would also like advice on partitioning and swap space setup. I would
like to make the most of what I have. I dont see putting a lot of files
on this machine so I can use the space for memory or whatever.

I have no problem with deleting the win95 or whatever else is on this
machine.

URL's, advice, instructions, ideas welcome and appreciated.



Thanks in advance.
