Recently, I got my hands on version 0.2 of Cobind, a Linux lite desktop, based on Red Hat/Fedora Core 1, from a software company in Pittsburgh. Not yet in general release, Cobind is a one disc wonder.

From my own experience, a P133 will run Windows NT4 SP6A, which unlike 95 is still supported for drivers. Disable all unnecessary services and it'll be reasonably fast.. or BeOS 5, which will run very fast but suffer compatibility problems and a shortage of available software.
The Windows machine would need a firewall and AV though, which adds to the bloat. Win98SE tweaked will run on a P133/32 reasonably well, though, as long as you can live with using Opera 5.12 instead of Internet Explorer (Opera 6 or later is painfully slow in 32mb and Mozilla is out of the question)
