A suggestion, if you use gentoo, I would look into compiling on a

Which distribution would you say would be the best for a LAMP server.
The machine is an OLD AMD K6-2 500MHz, 128MB RAM system.  I want a
lightning fast simple, trimmed down, non gui loaded Linux distribution.
 Any suggestions?  I have heard that Gentoo, Debian, or Slackware are
the most sleek distributions, is this so?

It's bigger than LFS, but smaller than anything else I've seen in a long time.
IMO, it's package management is as good or better than apt.  And, of course, 
both emerge and apt are untouchable by any rpm or rpm-like package manager.
