A friend of mine has an old laptop that she is going to send to a school in Ecuador. I need a linux that has Spanish and English(so I can set it up). The laptop has a Pentium, 64 MB of RAM, and about a 1 GB HD. It will be used by children who have never used a computer before so a nice GUI is preferable.
I've looked at minimal distros like Puppy Linux and DSL but those don't seem to have Spanish. Most others wouldn't work well on this laptop.
Gnome Ubuntu might run on it- i'm not sure
Xubuntu will probably work- it uses XFCE a lightweight but fully functional DE
also check out Edubuntu- it is designed for education- but i'm not sure what WM is uses
