I'm currently setting up some machines as simple terminals for our in house web-based CSM assistant. I have gotten my hands on a couple old (Pentium 300mhz-500mhz with 500meg - 1.1gig hard drives with 128meg ram) computers and I was thinking of finding a really small install and then setting up NOMachine clients on them to connect to a more powerful server via FreeNX but I can't seem to figure out what install I need to use for this.
Any Suggestions

I'd suggest https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP though I haven't been involved in this stuff.

Hi

+1 for puppy linux. Should run well on those specs.
