I'm in the need of a Linux distro which has low requirements for the hardware and still run a GUI aka Graphical User Interface. I have SuSe 9.3 Pro on multiple CD's but the requirements might be too high for the server in my sig. I'm not sure, but it seems like they are too high when it comes down to CPU.

I've been looking at getting DSL, Damn Small Linux and a few others. Preferrably Kernel 2.4 as it has legacy technology support which was dropped in 2.6.

Atleast 128Mb memory will be added and a 5Gb harddrive.

If you can compile your own kernel, try Genoo. If not, just install slackware and use a gui like fluxbox.
 
Thanks for the input, just read one of my "old" computer magazines. They had an article about GeexBox and another Linux distro. Could use my computer as a DVD player or all around media center. :P
