slackware or debian

i have a 60mhz pentium sitting around /*no i didt forget a zero*/ with a 500 megabyte harddrive and a massive 32 megs of ram. it is currently running debian but i am wondering whether slackware would be a better solution for it and for some that would ask this is not my main machine. but it can crunch a seti packet every week and i am wonder which runs faster

Heru:
On a machine that slow, I have no idea what would be better.

Sticking with debian might be the best idea, since it already works and as you said can do a SETI packet in a week(pretty good considering the machine's specs).

on that note i am in the middle of building a pentium 100mhz system, what do you guys think i should install on it

Master of Reality:
Hmmmmm.. You could always try building your own linux such as 'Linux from Scratch' or 'Build your Own Linux (BYO Linux)'

actaully, you might have missed my other post about ChoasnetOS, my idea was to build it thing on a 2 gig harddrive that is sitting in my 8 ide drive setup boot the machine with say a floppy, then have the floppy mount the / through nfs, and run the machine without a harddrive, that would almost be a diskless workstation
