        I had Debian 2.1 running on a 486/33.  I don't remember
how much memory.  A very tiny Debian 2.2 install should work,
but dselect and the installer will run very slowly.

                                Hope this helps,

P.S. As much as I like Debian, Slackware might be just as good 
for this.  These are the two that I can think about that you
can cut down to size easily.
