What would be good to run on that small computer?
Celeron 400("366")
seagate IDE hard disk drive (60.00 GB)
MATSHITA CD-ROM CR-589
Generic floppy disk drive (3.5")
64 Megabytes Installed Memory
Slot 'J6F1' has 32 MB
Slot 'J6F2' has 32 MB
Good video card.
Lots of room but not a lot of ram right now.

It's a shame I can put windows xp on this and run a youtube video no problem at all.
Install Linux and try to run a youtube video and it chokes like crazy.

Debian+dwm+midori or arora as browser
thunar or as filemanger
aterm or urxvt as terminal emulator
Xfbdev or xvesa as Xserver (use xfbdev only if you have an accelerated framebuffer)
custom kernel
I used this on a P100 + 16mb ram and it boo in 40 second to the desktop and all apps load in less than 5 sec. It is a matter of optimisation. Linux can boot with less than 1 mb of ram. On that laptop, it use 5.5mb with feh, conky, X and dwm.
