Default want to use linux on a really old computer
i have an old Dell optiplex gl 575, it's being running windows 95 for some time now and i want to do something different with it, it's 75mhz i have 128mb of ram for it and 7gig hdd... but, i only have a floppy disc drive.. if i could i would link it up to the network and use the cd drive i have on my other computer but i have no idea how to do this without an os.. Anyone have an ideal version to use on it.. i've never used linux before so i guess it would be fun to try this out and see if it works

What about an external drive? Surely you'd be wanting one sooner or later on it anyway?

Or does it have USB? could use memory stick or an iPod to transfer
