i am looking for a good linux distro (not xbuntu) to run on a pen 4 PC, with about 224MBs of ram, and 30 GIB hard drive, fairly good graphics card, and suggestion?

You could give puppy linux ago.

* Debian
* Zenwalk
* VectorLinux

Or any other lightweight linux distribution (http://lightlinux.blogspot.com/2008/06/top-10-of-lightweight-linux_24.html).

At the moment I use Xubuntu on a 1 GHz Pentium with 256 MB RAM. Runs fine (see my review (http://lightlinux.blogspot.com/2008/09/xubuntu-8041-on-hp-evectra.html)), though I decided to change from the default XFCE desktop to the lighter OpenBox. What's wrong with Xubuntu?

Puppy linux is a good start off point. My favourate is TEENpup 2008.

Ubuntu will run well with about double the RAM that you have.
