Actually, it is possible to make Ubuntu a bit more minimal. I have had
the following link on the Ubuntu side of my Mac for days now, but only
today launched it to dig it out. :-)

One caveat--I think that the kernel for the server version of Ubuntu
is different than that used on the desktop, so you might need to do
some hacking to get laptop hardware support (swapping kernels allowed?
I've never done it).

That said, I just installed Xubuntu onto a Pentium PII at 366mhz a
couple weeks ago. It wasn't a speed demon (nowhere near like Puppy),
but it had Polish support. :-) It's running fine, and I have, I think,
all the laptop support working on it.
