Hello. My dad had an old laptop lying unused in his garage and said I could have it. I've decided that I'd like to use it to do some word processing and maybe internet surfing - and learn more about linux so that when the game companies wise up, I'll be ready to install on my desktop :D The laptop is currently running Win 3.1 and Dos 6.1. It has 120MB hard drive and about 4MB of extended memory. It also lacks a CD drive.
Which floppy distro would be best for the computer? I'd like to wipe out windows and DOS and just boot right into linux if that's possible. From what I've been reading, zipslack is the way to go for small distros, but it's still 100 MB and that's a lot of floppies. I saw something called Keeper Linux that only takes two floppies but I haven't seen any ringing endorsements about it. Which distro would suit me and my ancient laptop?
