I believe Puppy Dog Linux is another small one.

Bigger OS, what for? Can't you wipe the drive while installing or Gparted or BootNuke to start fresh?

Not sure what you mean by 'bigger OS' either, but if you'd like to try something a bit easier to use there is xubuntu. Still might be a bit too much for those old machines, but it's worth a shot!

http://xubuntu.org/

I don't know how much ram you have in those, but if it's less than 256mb then you should use the alternate 32bit installation. Good luck and let us know how things turn out! thumb.gif

Just install Windows XP. If this is a temporary PC like you say then you don't even need a CD Key, just run it for the 120 day trial.

Try SliTaZ. http://www.slitaz.org/en/ Very nice OS in a 35mb (yes, you read that right 35 whopping megabytes) download.

Edit: oh yeah and Puppy linux, Tiny Core, AntiX. Just google linux for older hardware.
