Modern linux distros aimed at older computers? 32mb ram 2gb hard disk?adware

I got an older Pentium 200 Mhz with 24mb of ram running the lastest version of slackware (10.2) great right now, and using the fluxbux xwindows system.

The difficulty with older computers is going to be mostly the XWindows GUI system you can work with. KDE and Gnome both now need a good amount of ram, but there are other xwindows systems. Also, ofcourse, older computer's BIOS often don't support booting from the CD...then you are faced with messing with boot disks (which is fine, but more work). Most Distros these days are really focused on the CD booters.

Puppy Linux and Slax are both lightweight Linux Live scripts that have versions for older computers:

I just recommended Xubuntu to somebody else in a simular situation:

Slackware is always a very versatile option, it's what I went with for the older computer (I used the floppy startdisks). It's also easy to choose not to install larger programs and KDE apps you can't use anyways. But you will be dealing a lot with the scary command prompt text mode. It's great if you want to learn linux though:
