OT: OS/distribution recommendations

Hi list,

This may be a little off topic, but I would certainly
appreciate everyone's feedback. I want to start
learning to use PostgreSQL, and I have an extra PC at
home I wish to install PostgreSQL on for this very
purpose. My question: what OS would people recommend?
The PC is an old AMD-K2 running at 333MHz (I could be
mistaken), and it has 256MB RAM, and a ~5 GB HDD.

Currently, it has NT4.0 SP6 installed, but I would be
willing to install an OS from scratch. I am looking
for something that is (relatively) easy to install,
and is a platform that it is (relatively) easy to
install PostgrSQL on as well. I run the machine
"headless," so there has to be a way to telnet or SSH
in.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
