I'm looking to pick brains here ... if there are still any left after the
celebrations this afternoon ...

I've been asked to look at setting up a number of linux workstations as a
pilot project here ... the catch is that the "test" machines are 64MB P133s
with 2GB hard-drives (SCSI), and I've got to showcase RH 7.2 on them !!

What's the easiest, minimal install possible for these considering it'll be
done by FTP ?

I'm looking for a basic office desktop, something that'll run OpenOffice (I
know it'll be slow) and either KDE or Gnome desktops ... there doesn't need
to be anything deep under the surface ...

Any suggestions ?
