TinyXP rules. Go ge tthe "Beast" edition

To break it down for you. TinyXP is like a "lite" version of Windows XP professional that runs on low spec machines.
I'm currently putting it on my (mate's) old Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop after failing to install Suse Linux because of too
little memory, and even Knoppix struggles with the 128MB of RAM.
TinyXP is freakin' sick. :)
Here are the notes from the torrent:

TinyXP Beast Edition

This special 'Beast Edition' of TinyXP is designed to be hell fast!

Internet Explorer and Outlook Express have been removed from this edition.
Mozilla Firefox web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird email
client are included as replacements to Internet Explorer and Outlook
Express. The latest edition of MSN Messenger (v7.5) is also installed.

This edition of TinyXP includes Ethernet LAN drivers, Microsoft
Sidewinder drivers and Sound Controller drivers. All keyboard
layouts are included. All languages have been removed apart
from United Kingdom. The default Luna theme has been removed,
but this edition includes the XP Amp theme as default.

Most of the networking features are removed from this edition,
this is because this edition is intended as a gaming edition
that you can surf the internet with. It is NOT intended as an
operating system for use in a corporate environment to squeeze
a little bit more production out of the poor employees, however,
MS Mail and MAPI are included for compatibility. Also kept - 16Bit
Support, Disk Cleanup, the "core" of Internet Explorer, Task
Scheduler and you are still able to open ZIP files without the
need for any any third party program.

Services left remaining are: DHCP, DNS Client, Event Log, IAS,
Network Provisioning, Performance Logs and Alerts, Secondary Logon,
Shell Services, System Event Notification, Uninterruptible Power
Supply Universal Plug and Play, Windows Management Instrumentation,
Windows Time and Wireless Zero Configuration.

This edition also includes Wireless LAN and there is also support
for use on laptops. On this edition of TinyXP there are no minimum
RAM or hard disk space requirements.
