This machine fails to meet the minimum spec for current Debian versions. You *might* be able to get it to boot with 64 MB of RAM, if you can somehow manage to get Debian installed at all, but there are no guarantees that even booting will work. As soon as you try to run any applications or services, you'll almost certainly be thrashing swap. And that's *without* X11. The latest version of Debian that supports installing and booting with only 64 MB of RAM is wheezy (Debian 7), which is way beyond its end of life. If the OP could double the amount of RAM somehow, then it might be able to run as some sort of minimal server (perhaps a static content web server), but even then, it wouldn't be worth the time and (literal) energy it would take. They could buy modern low-energy-consumption hardware that would be immensely more powerful, and not very expensive.
