Which Distro?

[VoodooSteve]

I recently acquired 2 older computers. One is a Pentium 60MHz with 32MB of RAM that I plan to put DSL on. The other is a Pentium II 266MHz with 192MB of RAM and about 3GB of hard drive space. Seeing as the latter is more modest in terms of hardware, I thought I would have more choice as to the distro I put on. I've considered DSL, Slackware, Debian and Vector but I have little experience with these distros. Are there any others I should consider and which one would you recommend?

ZENWALK!!! :) Except I dont know how smoothly thatll run without a 300mhz processor.

Slack with blackbox, perhaps?

Puppy Linux is good.Haven't tried Wolvix.

Try a BSD

I tried out the Pentium II system using Knoppix and to my surprise it was very responsive. Even OpenOffice.org 2.0 was fairly usable. I was wondering what other KDE distributions there are with similar hardware requirements as Knoppix?
Note: Space is an issue

Windows! lol only joking
I think Arch Linux would a good one or NetBSD or PC-BSD even. ;)

Do a debian (or ubuntu) minimal install, and then apt-get openbox and some other needed things.

A good place to start is by looking in this section of our forums: Other OS Talk (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=147)

You'll plenty of good ideas in there.

:cool:

Thanks all. Just a quick note, I upgraded the hard drive from 3GB to 30GB, so space is no longer as issue.:D
