What linux for a pentium 2?

[chibicitiberiu]

I have an old computer and I want to install linux on it. The problem is that I don't know what distro to use, because it's very old.

The specs are:
Processor: Intel P2, 400 MHz
RAM: 128 MB
Video Card: Ati Rage 3D 4MB
HDD: 6 GB (and does not have SATA, it uses that wide old cable that is only used on floppy drives now, don't know how it's called)
PS/2 keyboard and mouse

I want a distro that works on this computer and also is new, not something like Ubuntu 1.0.

Personally i would run slackware or damn small linux on something with that kinda specs.

also depends what you want it to do.
i managed to run advancecd on a similar machine, P2 266mhz. it's a live cd so you don't need a hd. it wasn't too bad, had my 2yo nephew playing on it.

I run Fedora 2 (maybe it's 3) on a P3 550MHz machine and it handles it fine.
