Hi Folks,
I have an older laptop that I used to have Windows 98
on but have decided to put linux on. The machine
specs: Intel Celeron 333, 64 mb ram, 4 gig hd. I
need Open Office, X-Chat, Firefox and my wireless card
to work, plus some window manager. So does anyone
have suggestions for distros and window managers
suited for older hardware?
The distrobution is important, because I am still very
much a novice. I really don't know what packages I
need or don't need which is fine for my newer desktop
but not when I want to keep that to a minimum. Are
there any distrobutions with a stock 'minimal'
installation setting?
Thanks, Brad
