I have a 633MHz system with 128mb memory. This thing is ancient, and has been sitting around for a while collecting dust.

I need to set up this computer to control the following:
1 HP laserjet
1 HP inkjet
1 Canon all-in-one
1 Canon printer + faxer


I want this computer to share all for printers with a LAN, and I need the all-in-one to be able to share it's scanning capabilities with the LAN as well. I found that SANE allows for network scanning.

Right now this computer is too slow to run Ubuntu. Where can I find information on how to get a basic kernel and a print server running. I don't need a graphical interface, I do need something that requires little resources because of the old computer.

Thanks a lot for any assistance!
