I assume that means a working display with a line on it, not a single
green line on a dark screen. :-)  Headless would be...tricky (no, I
don't want to solve it with a wireless card, another laptop, and VNC.

Wow, 8 MB of ram.  That's actually below the minimum software
requirements when *not* running Wine.  Maybe I'd better rephrase my
post....

It's an interesting question if a modern Linux would run on it--without
X, probably.  I may even have tried Slackware in 8Mb, I can't remember.

You know, that thing would make a very low-power server or firewall.
