It's a good idea. However, as far as I know none of these are
specifically targetted at old systems with little memory and small disks
as Tinylinux is (http://tiny.seul.org/it/). In fact apart from tiny
linux the only other distribution I know of aimed at very small or old
systems is Puppy linux, which is also not 'guaranteed' 100% free.
I know that there are many gnu/linux distributions which can no longer
even be installed on very old computers because of their size and/or
distribution method; can you recommend any of the 100% free
distributions for this purpose?
Thanks
