I just wanted to mention that a lot of older CDROM drives don't like miniCDs and business card sized CDs (or at least don't seem to boot from them). So even though DamnSmallLinux does fit on a miniCD, go ahead and burn it on a full-sized CD for those older laptops that still have CDs.

If they have CD drives and enough ram, you could run a LiveCD. For older hardware, try DamnSmall Linux, as previously mentioned here. It even has a lot of cool, small programs. http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ DamnSmall

I have several old laptops that could live a good life of xterminals. Unfortunately, some don't have hard drives, most have memory less than 64MB, and one is a 486 with 4MB. All can use a pcmcia ethernet card.
What do most people do with these? Are there distributions catering to these or do I have to build them myself?
I'd hate throw them away. They use so little power, have well designed hardware, and look nice.
