If you manage talkingarch correctly it is stable and will fit on a 
system like that.  A person would have to be pretty far into linux to 
easily get talkingarch installed though.  Definitely not for people with 
a fear of using command line applications.  Slackware is no longer 
accessible but when it was accessible would have been easier to install.
  I would stay well and truely away from gentoo since it's longer and 
more complex to install than talkingarch and according to one of this 
list's members has to be reinstalled to fix breakages that happen to it 
with use and time.  The F123e distribution is supposed to install 
automatically with a working (ethernet) internet connection I have a 
copy of it here and one of these days will attach to ethernet and try it 
out.  Another easier talkingarch install may be antergos.
Puppylinux might be another one to check out though I don't know if 
that's still accessible.

When I got that one up, it was like knoppix with a menu interface. On Fri,
