If you're going with CLI (Command Line Interface) not to be confused with CLIT (Command Line Interface Terminal) learn how to use screen. Screen will let you run more than one program from the command line. So you could be using irssi chatting on irc in one screen and copying files in another and running nano in yet another. Though with 200 mhz you're going to be stretching it to do many things at the same time. :P

EDIT: And I use archlinux. It can be pretty small or as large as you want it. I can't remember what the minimum foot print is.
