Yeah... you're going to be hard pressed to get any modern linux
running on that... You may be able to get one of the small distros
like Puppy or Damn Small Linux running on it. It's possible you can
get something with no GUI running like a server oriented distro, or
something along those lines.

To be honest, it's been forever since I ran anything with 64mb of RAM.
If you can find more RAM somewhere and get it to 256 you'll have a
much better chance. It'll still be horribly slow, but a lot better
than with 64MB.

Cheers
