Linux OS for old hardware webserver

[neocryptek]

hey,

I have an old pII 300mhz with 128mb ram and like 5gig hdd space that is obviously old crappy and not in use

i want to setup a webserver for my lan basically for kicks and for the learning experience, might as well use this old thing for as long as i can before its completely extinct :P

php, apache and mysql will be run on it

anyways, the question is which linux os would be best to run on this old comp? based on performance and suitibility for a webserver. not only the distro but the version number as obviously new versions wont run on it very well

what version of redhat is good for this old of hardware/webserver function?

what version of suse is good for this old of hardware/webserver function?

any others that should be considered?

is there a table of popular distro's system requirements anywhere?

this will be a private server (on my lan) so security isnt an issue

i have only used redhat before, so im not a complete noob :P, but im not sure whats out there, can you guys help?

thanks in advance for any help!

I am not sure about this but I think any Linux distribution will do what you need. I used to use Slackware Linux version 9.0 so that's the one I recommend

probably wise to install text-mode only...for performance reasons....I prefer redhat 7.something for these types of machines.

Yeah...you can always choose to not install any graphical environments when installing Linux.
