Hey Seth,

I played a little with a 760Cs 8MB memory.
You can put a build-your-own distro on it.
IBM developerworks has an article on
'Lightweight Linux'. This has enough to get
the kernel etc on the laptop. But you'll
need to look at the Linux from Scratch
HOWTO to get the rest of things on it.

Dave
