linux equivalent of server 2000?

[MrGrey]

I was given a pre war [lol] laptop. It has a actiontec moden card in it, 2x 64MB ram and 2 unknown cpu's but I bet they are 1ghz each. It had win-server 2000 installed on it. I was thinking on dropping kali on it because it has a floppy and a cdrom drive and a bunch of added ports for peripherals including an option for a docking station, but, with only 128mb ram I'm not sure kali would even run on it. It's an Inspirion 5000e.
I was given it free without the ide hdd.

Use it as a door-stop?
Kali will not run on it.
Most versions of Linux will not run on it.
You will need an ultra-light distro, but beware, you cannot go loading heavyweight apps on a light distro without making the whole thing heavy.
Something like "Tiny Core Linux" might work. The "Core Plus" version? http://tinycorelinux.net/
Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Linux_distribution and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions_that_run_from_RAM
I can't help thinking you need to ask yourself "Am I a masochist or not?"

MX-16 Linux 32bit should work but expect that laptop to run slow. https://mxlinux.org/
