I'm not going to get into "best" distro, but I loaded Fedora Core 2 
using a network boot on some cluster nodes that didn't have floppies or 
CDROMs.  Setting up a network boot server isn't exactly trivial, and 
these boxes were built for network boot.  You will need at least a boot 
floppy to get you started.

There's also the Gentoo distribution, which installs (and builds) 
everything from the internet. You may find a gentoo floppy that will 
get you going, assuming you have a reasonable fast internet connection 
that you can access via ethernet (and plenty of time, since it's a p120 
and gentoo builds the entire OS from source).

... and I may not be spelling "gentoo" correctly. (:
