damn small linux installed on a small pc

I installed damn small linux .72 on an old IBM pc that my daughter is using. The pc has a 200 mhz pentium with 32 meg memmory and a 2.5 gig hard drive. I had installed Mandrake 9.0 on it but it was horribly slow with a lot of paging to the swap file. DSL (damn small linux) is much faster. DSL only uses about 50 meg of the hard drive and has the basic applications such as ftp and telnet. It should make a good file server as well as a good ' get to know linux' machine.
