Hmm, I have a friend with a laptop with the same specifications, we had red hat 4 running on it fully installed for a while. After that we installed Red Hat 5.2 in console mode only style(no desktop, no X windows system).
Also, I do believe we had suse 5 running on it, a limited installation considering SuSe is one of the larger distro's available. Um, a compact version of NetBSD should suit you, or even An Older OpenBSD should suit your hardware. FreeBSD probably has something that would be fitting but my experience with FreeBSD is limited in comparison to the other BSD's and RH. Good Luck, if you are only looking for a console system than you should be able to install just about any older distro...

Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3)				       Tk Library Procedures					 Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp) ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console channels are created. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget. This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like Win32. The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels. NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for. SEE ALSO
console(n) KEYWORDS
standard channels, console Tk 8.5 Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3)
