Who passed it to you?

Older than it needs to be. I ran Slackware 4 (just about contemporary with Redhat 6.0) on a laptop with lower specs than that, no problem.
Damn Small Linux and Tiny Core Linux being some of the obvious choices. Your real problem is getting things booted in the first place. I wonder whether gPXE is able to see your PCMCIA network card. If it did, you could just boot that off of a floppy and from there it would be a pretty simple task to netinstatll something; if not, well I'm pretty sure DSL has a set of floppies still. You could also try installing Slackware 9, which I think was the last version to ship a floppy set -- just install the very base system from there and then once you're booted you can try an in-place upgrade over the network.
I was hoping for a review of Churchill's memoirs.
Of course, we are willing to defend your right to have that opinion
You may be, but your coworkers took the job mostly because they figured getting paid to drive around in a jeep with a bunch of buddies and shoot shit sounded like a good time.

I prefer Chihuahua Del Este.
Microsoft is the new Tupperware?
The one very, very far away from me, ideally. But making a turn is an obvious exception.
Came here to say L5-30.
When I lived in Northeast PA it was always the New York drivers that couldn't manage to take a curve at speed. I figure they're from the city and they don't comprehend any kind of curve except a 90-degree turn
120 is perhaps a bit crazy too. I've done 100 on I-80 in the past... let me tell you that a road gator or anything else in your lane and not moving comes up really fast at 100mph and your ability to maneuver is not at its maximum either. I think 90 is a practical max.
Because it's illegal. If you're in the left lane, and there's anyone behind you, and you could be in the right lane, then you're obligated to get the fuck over there whether you're doing the speed limit or not.
Ahem. "You can do it your own way -- if it's done just how I say."
Lou Gehrig and the eponymous legionnaires are the rare exception.
Perhaps you've heard of Alois Alzheimer, Hans Asperger, Thomas Hodgkin, James Parkinson, or Georges Tourette. Then again, probably not. But you've most likely heard of Alzheimer's Disease, Asperger Syndrome, Hodgkin Disease (or at least non-Hodgkin Lymphoma), Parkinson's Disease, and Tourette Syndrome.
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
