Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
There is also a "mini" distro called Basic Linux put together by a
contributor to the old Arachne mailing list which is designed to run on
old computers with DOS. Lots of help available through their archived
mailing list. I was able to get it up and running on an old 386 with
no previous Linux experience or knowledge. Basic Linux is a great learning
platform to teach you the basics if you have a DOS backgroound.
Google takes you there.
