Good Distro for 450mhz 128MB Ram????
Hello. My grandparents computer recently crashed completely (it was running Windows 98). It is a 450 MHz 128 MB RAM 13 GB Hard drive 32 MB Video Card. What would be a nice little distro that isn't overly complicated and doesn't require me to connect to the internet to download from the machine being installed on (it doesn't have a network card, I can still download ISO's on my own computer and burn them to install). It has to run fairly good as I have already tried SuSE on it and it doesn't work so well. Would an old RedHat work good??? Anyways, please reply
