hullo guys,
thanks for the nice work you are doing.
Am looking for a lightweight, fully equiped and real-linux with GUI; linux distro that can suitably run on my old celeron box (500 mhz with 128 mbs). Currently Iam running debian 4.1 but i do not feel my box flying. so please help me if you have any ideas.

Oh, almost forgot- Am looking for something I can install not something that will run on my usb pen or cd-rom like Damn Small linux.
I don't mind if you gave a few links also.
Thank you- in advance

xUbuntu (uses xfce desktop, don't like it but it's fast), btw..most cd based distros are hard drive installable like dammsmall (debian based install, it uses the jwm/twm gui. don't give up on it yet. 4.0 has kernel missing problem, i just copied it from cd to hd/boot/).
get the idea?

object: to find the live cd distro you like, (As they tell you, cd based is slower until you install it) i tried Live-spring 2007, works fine live or install.

My test machine: Compaq Presario 1275 laptop/366-k6-2,32+128=160mb ram,
2mb neomagic128xd video,4gig(stock drive)upgraded to 40 gig,cdrom,floppy,pcmcia;10/100card-or-motorola-bcmwl5.inf -Eman

best of luck to you.
p.s. i've ran mepis 6.0-6.5 on this thing no prob...
