Help Find Low RAM Requirement Linux Distribution
I have some motherboards, I need to test one and install Linux.
I have some RAM:
32 MB, 8 pieces;
64 MB, 5 pieces;
128 MB, 3 pieces.
I need to test all, I don't know which can work.

Are you looking for a Linux distribution that can run in a low-memory environment? If so, check out PuppyLinux - Home Page | Puppy Linux, which is designed to run on older machines with as little as 32 MB of memory. Or try a base Debian install, without any graphics or applications like OpenOffice/Firefox/etc. it has pretty low memory requirements.

An old Slackware should do the work.

I ran Slackware 8 on a machine with 16MB of RAM. This should be fine for your needs, and I think you can find an ISO on Google pretty easily.

You may want to look into the linux distros designed for embedded systems. Those will use trivial amounts of ram.

For Low RAM you can try any Linux or BSD, Just make sure you don't install GNOME, KDE, etc.,

Both Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux are optimized to run on systems with very low memory. I think the better option out of the two would be 'Damn Small Linux', since it has many global followers.
