Whoa! 32MB is going to be barely enough to do an install; once you get
done, if you want to run X, I suggest a minimum 128MB. I suggest poking
around at computer flea-markets and "salvage" shops, you should be able
to get ahold of some 16MB SIMMs (8 slots -> 128MB) or 32MB SIMMS (256MB)
for a reasonable fee, given that all new machines don't use them...

Good luck.
