About LinkBacksI am looking for a Linux build that will support my old desktop's hardware.
It has 64 mb RAM, 8 gb harddrive, 400 mhz processor, and basically very old hardware.

That should work.
It works on a thinkpad with 32mb or 64mb (can't remember which) of ram.

You could even run CentOS on that build, albeit rather slowly. Good enough for a personal server or a low end web server as long as you don't enable all the GUI options.
Easiest 70 points you'll make on x10

if you just want the machine to run, there are a host of options. Check out this nice O'Reilly article: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog...ent_littl.html

I feel dumb =/ I think i am the only person who managed to screw up a damn small linux installation. I'll give it another go.
When I boot the CD, it first asks to install an x-server. It always ends up with a fatal error message.
