Debian 2.0 is not supported by the Debian security team anymore. I don't
know how much RAM/hard disk space your notebook has, but you could
probably install Debian 3.0. It comes on seven CDs, but of course you
don't have to install everything. The base system after the
installation is about 120 MB (without graphical interface). There also
some Linux distributions specially for older/slower computers, like
Deli Linux (http://delilinux.berlios.de/). Vectorlinux or Slackware
would maybe also work.

The packages are available at <ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian-archive>, but
I don't know if you can find ISO images anywhere.
