Distro for aging laptop -- bootable CD?

[Brian D]

I installed debian on my IBM 380z 96MB and it
recognized my hardware. I used three different distros
on the laptop and the cd booted all of them. Only one
installed properly though. :(
It's a very small footprint, but it has been growing
as I add more software to it.
