Can anyone recommend a good Linux distro for an old machine (486 w/ 12 MB
RAM)?  I've managed to install TINY Linux, which is based on Slackware 3.5
or so, but I think I'd like something a bit more polished.  All of the major
distributions require at least 32 MB RAM AFAIK, so they're out.  I also
tried OpenBSD, but had problems (it's been awhile, so I don't remember
precisely what went wrong).

Thanks,
Matt
