If it's superb functionality from  486/P1 with 4MB onwards you're after, I  
would suggest Damn Small Linux. Debian based, runs a 2.4 Kerne, is  
bootable from a floppy and/or USB stick or CD-Rom.

I installed this on my father's P1 with 8MB ram and he has been the  
happiest surfer ever. He even runs his old Dos programs under emulation.

Highly recommended.
