How old of a system can I load Breezy?

[hometoast]

Soon as I find a dongle for my xircom network card, I am attempting to
install debian on a 486-DX100 laptop with 810 MB HDD and 28 MB ram. If that
doesn't work I might try gentoo because I know i can compile it all from
stage 1. I honestly wouldnt install breezy because I don't know how to _not_
include all the Gnome stuff (which would never fit on the HDD nor run with
28MB) during the install.
 If you wanted to only run ftp/apache servers I would start with regular
debian because I know they've compiled down to 386's.
