Hi Ben,
 You really should read the FAQ. I'll mail you the info sheet,
as seen on usenet. Some answers below.

You will need more memory to run X-windows well, especially to run
Netscape. 16MB is a practical minimum these days. You could probably
use more disk space.
  With such an old system, I doubt you can afford new apllications for
Linux though (e.g. wordperfect, WABI)

So why do you want Linux? Windoze is much better for word-pro and
spreadsheet app's. Netscape is available for Linux though.

Only netscape. It sounds like you need a dual-boot setup, ie use windoze
for applications.

Easy with a little help. You need two small scripts.
