What are you going to use this for? From the hardware that you listed above, it seems like it will just be a router for your home network. If that is the case, I would recommend not using any distro. Instead read the Boot Disk HOW TO and rolling your own. Just do like the how-to says, but don't load the file systems into ram, put them on your 51 Meg HD. You will save yourself a lot of head-aches this way, cause you will have a very functional system using only about 4Meg of space. HTH, Bill
