It should but the machine only has 64mb of memory.  There is a lot of
cruft in later distributions.  Running a disiti with software desgined
to play nicely with a machine with low memory will be a nice machine. 

My point being that the machine is slow and has little memory.  Why not
run a disti that was created when those machines were in full force?
Why run a disit that was created when everyone has 3.0Ghz machines with
1GB or RAM?  On an older disiti everything is smaller.  Glib, X,
mozilla, gcc, etc.  You just probably can't compile the latest software.

But it is better than DOS.
