I agree with your sentiment and feel that a version of linux capable of running on older computers should be developed. Unfortunately most "minimalists" are not maintained anylonger such as Tiny Linux(see below).

Tiny Linux is a small Linux distribution designed especially for old recycled computers.

TINY Linux distribution comes under GNU GPL.


Technical requirements:

• processor : i386 or better
• hard disk : 50 Mo is enough for installation itself, but you will do better with at least 80 Mo
• ram: 8 MB minimum, 12 MB or 16 MB is better
• floppy drive :3"1/4
• keyboard, mouse
