[olug] Small old laptop challenge

Ok, so I had a relic of an earlier age come across my desk a few weeks
ago, and I have this growing urge to try to do something with it to
make it useful.  It's a Thinkpad 701cs with the unique butterfly
keyboard.  Processor-wise it's a 486DX4-75, and it has 24MB of RAM.

It has a PC-card slot, and I might be able to dig up an ethernet PC
card, and it has a floppy drive.  No CD drive though.

Anyone know of a distro that will run on this old beast?

Bill
