Which Version of linux?

[MooseMan1]

hey i was wondering which district of linux would be best to put on a gateway 2000 from 1997 it's specs are P II 266MHz about 64MB of ram, 4Mb video card, and 2 4GB hardrives. the version of linux that takes up the smallest ammount of space and power would probably also be best, but also a version thats somewhat easy 2 learn linux with. your suggestions are very appreaciated!! please give me as much info as u can on the 1 u recommend because i would like 2 know about it before i start working on burning and installing it thanks in advance

DSL linux would probably be the best

Put 192MB RAM and you'll run Suse 9.1

would red hat or mandrake linux work pretty well?

EDIT:

does DSL linux have alot of features or anything, i can't see it having much for being only 50 some MB
