Any linux is good (my opinion ) but installed minimum (for instance I recommand you Slackware 7.1 or 8.0 - attention install them only with console... Slack you'll see is the best choice ... requires 1,3 G for all applications and less than 200 for console and net packages...He also moves very very fast... : www.slackware.com and you will be taken to:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.0 for download. I use mandrake and slackware but i've worked with many linuxes: I told you I recommand you Slackware... By!
