I loaded Vector Linux 1.8 on this old Pentium 1 - 100mhz with only 16mb 
ram.  VL2 and higher wants more cpu and more ram.
I tried Deli Linux, but that requires more cpu, apparently.
It's running with VL1.8, now.  Let me tell you, if you thought OOo was 
slow on your machine?!  You can take a shower while it loads on this 
thing.  It only came with NEdit for word processing, though.
I think it needs Abiword.  Abi should be quicker...
