Debian... fully functioning file server:
$ df -k
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1 995115 143435 800274 15% /
/dev/hda2 15221209 8914932 5514273 62% /export
/dev/hdc2 25294175 5360770 18610557 22% /export2
You'll probably want to forgo X, and keep swap as low as possible (~32 Mb),
but it'll
fit and run alright (minimum debian install is ~20Mb)
