Well actually, some machines have 32 MB, others vary from 64 to 256 MB.

I have a copy of FC2 CDs lying around, would that install with that much RAM?

What other distros would you suggest for the games as well as for this
amount of RAM?

Hard disk is not an issue but I do have some machines without a hard
disk. I'd like to use Linux on them too, tho knoppix etc won't be
possible to use on these. Some thin Linux distro?
