Hyperbola GNU/Linux and NetBSD will run perfectly fine. On the live Hyperbola image, it might be needed to state a swap partition at boot so it doesn't trash out. It uses a 5.x kernel and it can use both GRUB2 and Syslinux for boot. On the VM, FVWM (I can post mine if anyone wants it) will be the best option -you can disable opaque window resizing and moving- among a ton of CLI and light X11 tools such as "links -g", sxiv, xpaint and friends. TinyCore will eat your ram once it you start installing stuff. It's better to get a true system installed. On the CPU, a CLI system with tools like a Unicode XTerm, TMUX, Catgirl for IRC, Mutt... will fly. But if you can get some Pentium II or even better, III... your OS will fly and you will even be able to listen to some OGG/MP3/FLAC music outside of audio CD's.
