So we are in the same boat.  I really wish there was a version of Damn
Small Linux for Mac.  I've looked into trying to make something for
the really lowend systems, but besides the fact that it looks
complicated, it takes time.  I like openSUSE and really like YaST, but
it's not always the best choice for older hardware.  I have an old
Compaq Laptop that my kids were using that has a P/90 and only 8MB ram
with Win95.  I recently found a RAM upgrade for it and it now has
40MB, so I may put DamnSmall on it and use it as a router.  The screen
is kinda bad, so at least I can get some use out of it.
