[wplug] Barebones Linux

[Weber, Larry A]

I need a distro of Linux that will run on an old 486 laptop (500 Meg HD, no
CD).  Command line only.  The only apps I really need are gcc, gdb, Perl,
and vi.  Ruby would be nice.  An ethernet port (pcmcia) is possible but not
desirable.  I used ZipSlack awhile ago in a similar situation but it did not
come with gcc.  With only a floppy drive (I could add a zipdrive), adding
more apps will be difficult.

Any thoughts?
