Hiya a friend of mine has an old Vaio notebook with a 6 GB HDD, 366 Mhz Pentium II processor and 64 MB ram. Currently there's a Win98 installed. What can you recommend? Xubuntu? DamnSmallLinux? ...? Looking for input
Another try I've a nice experience with DreamLinux, which runs extremely fast and looks nice! http://www.dreamlinux.com.br/english/index.html
well, in the end there should be an office suit on it (preferably OOo) and a browser (preferably FF) I know, another 64mb of ram will do miracles another difficulty is the notebook does not have an integrated lan port and I'm trying to get my old Level 1 pcmcia card running... xubuntu does recognize it but the install process "stops" at configuring anthy... whatever that is... I'm not sure if debian will recognize it... I thought maybe a debian install with flushbox could work.
Maybe Knoppix is worth a try as it always comes with the newest and most drivers. Knoppix is not oly a Live-CD, it can also be installed to the hard disk. But I'm not sure how resource-hungry it is.
I'm running DamnsmallLinux on my Laptop with PIII 366mhz and 196MB RAM. DSL works fine and fast but I think with only 64MB RAM DeLi Linux will work better. http://delili.lens.hl-users.com/ -- Mystix
