Linux on a 486????

[newbie_matt]

I have an extra old Packard Bell sitting in my room with;

An Intel 486sx 33 MHz processor
16 MB of Ram
An on board video card with probably less than a Meg of video ram.
An ISA 33.6 k modem
An ISA SoundBlaster 16 board
A 2x cd-rom drive
A regular floppy drive
And a nice 7 gig hard drive
With um 4 partitions (maybe more) of about 2 gigs each... remember now that it had to do that because win 95 can't handle over a certain amount of space on each partition.. And all of the partitions are in FAT 16.

I have Windows 95 (probably one of the really early releases) on the c: drive. All other partitions are just storing extra stuff partition c: didn't have room for.

What I want to do is to dual boot Win 95 and any version of Linux that will run on it. My question for you is;

1.Do you think it is possible to run any dist. of Linux on this old PC?

2.If yes, where could I download it? (Website, name of dist.)

3.Could I allow Linux one of the partitions for example partition E: and not have any problems with any other partitions? (Still allow the other partitions to use FAT 16 and just the Linux partition to use its own format)

Note: I already have Corel and Mandrake but I think the requirements are too much for the old PC.
