AtticWare Distros


Awhile back I got an old laptop for fixing a computer and I put Linux on it. The Problem was I had a heck of a time trying to find a distro to run on it. It seems like most distro's nowadays are for newer PC's so i thought we might be able to compile a list of Distros that run on ol hardware. If you participate please include the system specs or a link saying what the system will run on. I'll go first

Vector Linux running on my laptop. Cyrix 200Mhz Processor, 32MB RAM, 2Gb HD

DeLi Linux
http://delilinux.berlios.de/
"DeLi Linux stands for "Desktop Light" Linux. It is a Linux Distribution for old computers, from 486 to Pentium MMX 166 or so." "A full install, including XFree and development tools, needs not more than 250 MB of harddisk space."
"The test computer is a 486 laptop with 16 MB RAM, and all apps which comes with DeLi Linux are running smoothly."
