I want to install Linux (my first time) onto an old Toshiba 110CS laptop.

The laptop has 775MB HD, 40MB RAM, 800x600x256color screen, and a floppy drive, but no CDROM drive.

It has 2 PCMCIA slots, and I have a Linksys network PC card in one, and it is networked nicely to the rest of my home network.

I would need to install either from copying installation files to the hard drive via the network while Win95 is still working on it, or with floppies.

I'm not even sure which Linux distribution to use. All I basically need is network connectivity via the mini Linksys card, and a nice user interface (GNOME is good, no?)

I would install OpenOffice.org / Mozilla Firefox too, but I guess I could do that myself once I have it up an running.

Can someone help???
