Hey all I was recently given an old thin client that needed a new HDD I put in a 200GB IDE drive I had laying around and was thinking of doing a home server but am struggling to find a distro that will run on its 128MB of ram. any suggestions? I would prefer being able to access files from other places but if not a NAS would be fine.

The only OS I can think of is Windows XP, but the bigger problem is that the 128MB RAM, IDE HDD and (I presume) very old processor will result in file read/write times being very, very low. File server performance isn't just down to the speed of your LAN, as the processing is still done on the server.
