I have an old Thinkpad sitting around my apartment and I had a thought pop into my head about turning it into a simple client machine that is a little more modernized that it is when running Win95.
Here's it's specs -- but it's been upgraded to 90MB of RAM: ($4600 retail price !!!

I know very little about Linux, but I was wondering if you could give me suggestions on what I could do with the machine.
I heard blackbox and fluxbox were good for window managers but I don't know what else would be a good fit.
I'm not expecting anything great, but if I could do basic tasks (maybe even web surfing -- with decent performance) and have support for stuff such as USB 2 and wireless networking, that would be great.
I was also thinking about it as a audio front end for a networked music collection.
Any other creative suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
