I am Brand new to linux in general and i aquired a computer from a friend with 128mb of ram and an AMD 3ghz processor. does anybody have any ideas of what i can load on this monster? :confused:
I assume it needs to have a LXD gui?

You have only 128MB RAM. which means that you either have to install a special distribution with minimal hardware requirements or - and this is what i would prefer - buy more RAM.

There are some distributions you might use with small hardware:
- Damn Small Linux I have it running on a really old ibm notebook with 64 MB RAM

- DeLi

- MEPIS antiX

- Puppy

- Slitaz

- Sugar on a Stick

- TinyMe

- U-Lite

- Vector Linux Light Edition

etc.
