Best distro for Toshiba Satellite 1625CDT
I've been looking for the best distro for my Toshiba Satellite 1625CDT.
It only has 4.25GB HD & 128MB Ram, limping along on Win2K Pro. It's primarily used for email and web design. Would want the distro to fit on 1 CD & easy to install. Ubantu's got the right idea, but if I can't run the live CD because it's too big to run on my machine, the install CD sure won't fit. Debian looks good for the fit, but what do I know..:confused: |
Slackware is easy to install but needs a little knowledge to get configured. Slackware has a great community so you will get much help doing it.
Slackware comes in 4 CD's I think but a full install is like 3G IIRC. And you can skip packages like KDE as it will surely be quite slow on your machine. Most critical packages to get a working system fit to a single CD. |
I would try xubuntu. It might still be pretty slow due to the lack of ram. In that case I would swap xfce for fluxbox or enlightment. Install it with the "alternate" install cd. It's exactly the same system, but with a text based installer.
