[SOLVED] Best Distribution for low end PC

[Erwin Criddle]

Hi,

I've got an old PC, and I was wondering what kind of distro or desktop environment it would need.

PC Spec:

Pentium 2 350MHZ
256MB Ram
ATI Rage Pro 8MB AGP 2X (Can't find any drivers????):confused:
80GB HDD

I have tried Xubuntu, but the PC is still slow.

Any Ideas?

I was able to get Puppy Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org/) running on a machine with 64 MB of RAM, so I expect it would fit the bill.

If you can't give it a bit more RAM (which is really all that's a bit low on that system) then you may want to look at Fluxbuntu (http://fluxbuntu.org/js.html), Damn Small Linux (http://damnsmalllinux.org/) or Puppy (http://www.puppylinux.org/user/viewpage.php?page_id=1).

Thanks for the advise.
I'll try Puppy Linux. And see whether that will be any faster.

Could you tell me where I could get a driver for that ATI graphics card.

DSL and Puppy should run pretty fast. You could also try fluxbuntu

[Dr Small]

Try out Fluxbuntu. It should work fine ;)
