Debian runs fine on a 386 SX. My primary mailserver is a 386 SX, so I
know. (Not a laptop, but don't worry about that.) It's the 8 MB RAM
that's your ouch.
You might want to stick with Slink rather than the newer stuff. I
*highly* recommend staying in console mode, and getting a newer kernel
after things settle in, as the older ones have had some bugs.

Yes, that'd work.

There are also distros aimed at the 4 MB to 8 or 16 MB crowd; lwn.net
has some pointers.
