I know, I know, this is a Windows forum, but I strive to be a jack-of-all-trades.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a particular distribution of the various Linux/BSDs that would be good to put on my old 486, so I can learn some Unix. I've tried Stormix, Mandrake, and am currently [as I type] trying to get FreeBSD 4.1.1 on to it, but I've had many problems, not the least of which is the limited [515MB] drive space. I think FreeBSd broke my CDROM, or it's time was just up.
I'd prefer a BSD based distro, as those seems to have less bloat, but anything that will fit would be fine.
