installing sshd?

I have a box running RH5.2 and I'd like to set up ssh... what do I have to do? If I need a newer version of linux, what can I fit in 20MB ram and ~400MB hard drive? I just need to run apache, sshd, maybe perl or php (not a requirement).
 
I dont know how to go about it for RH5.2, but I would really look into Debian for that computer. Just install it, dont select any packages during the install, after its installed apt-get install apache ssh perl php4 and youd be all set. Doesnt take up hardly any HD space either.
 
I found a site with RH5.2 rpms and they had an ssh2 rpm, so I set it up and it worked. IIRC, debian didn't like 20 mb ram. neither does slack. My experiences with BSD haven't been very good.

Anyway, I got it working 🙂. Now instead of taking 30 seconds to 0wn my box, it will take about 5 minutes 😉 (when you ssh in, there is a 28 second delay until you get the login prompt 😀 😀 😀)
