Puede instalar cualquier dist. de linux, pero dudo que pueda instalar un manejador de ventanas como Gnome o KDE.

No peanut linux is a 55mb download, but requires around 150mb of HDD space, so it will fit in 600mb no problems, has netscape, icq, and everything you need, and is easy(for linux anyways) to setup. Windows 98 will fit on that comfotable though, w/out too many wallpapers and useless things.
