Everything *but* Suse. I'm not really wedded to Suse; a friend just said 
that his network install had gone pretty smoothly & that it seemed to 
have better ACPI/laptop support than various other oldschool distros.

And no, don't try to tell me to do Gentoo on this 2-year-old thinkpad 
with a tiny hard drive.

Speaking of non-bleeding-edge hardware, does anybody have a suggestion 
for a good small-footprint distro that's actually currently being 
maintained that would be a good match for a Transmeta 3200-based 
touchscreen webpad type device, booting from a 512-meg CF card?

Semi-current maintenance would be nice primarily because I need the 
prism-GT wireless chipset support that's in the 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels.

One would think that Transmeta's own Midori aka Mobile Linux would be a 
good candidate, but they appear to have abandoned that ship back in 2001 
or so.
