Will any linux distro fit on this hard drive?

[Mr Smiley]

Well?
I want to use Ubuntu and dual boot with Windows 98 on a pretty old computer. Its got a P3 600mhz, 128 megs of ram, 13GB Hard drive(About 11GB left on it), and a voodoo 3 video card. I basically want to use this for internet/email/Instant messaging and stuff like that. So do you think this will fit? What should I set my partition sizes to? Is there any other distros that would better suite this computer? Thanks for your very kind help

Just about anything will fit on a 13GB drive...

I dont know if your being sarcastic or not. I was able to put windows 98 and some programs in at just above 1GB...

I'm not being sarcastic. How much unpartitioned hard drive space did you leave for Linux?

Well I havent set it up yet. I was gonna do like 8GB for Ubuntu and 5GB for Windows 98. Do you think this will work?

8GB should be more than enough. 5GB would be the minimum sized partition I'd use, just because of the number of applications you have to choose from is HUGE. Once you find the ones you like it might be easier.

Even for Windows XP that is more then enough.
