Good morning all,
 
I just have a weird question...I have a Gateway Colorbook at home that
is now running Windows 3.1.   However, I want to migrate over to a Linux
or Unix OS.  Now this laptop is quite old, assume the bare essentials
(4-16MB RAM, 550MB Hard Drive, Floppy drive, 10.1 inch color screen,
14.4K Modem, etc).  I wonder if there is an older version of either Unix
or Linux I could use for this machine.  It doesn't have to be fancy,
I'll only be using this unit for internet connectivity and word
processing.  
 
As usual, I know all of you are quite busy so any and all info provided
is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
