Which distro for an old machine to run tomcat
I know this is a 'what distro' question but i thought it best here. By all means admin move it if you prefer...
I have a 350MHz 64MB machine and I am hoping to run tomcat on it, as well as be an outward facing file-server (FTP etc). I currently have a fresh install of DamnSmallLinux and have tried Clarkconnect in the past (though not with tomcat) and thought I'd spend a little while having a go with some different small distro's that will serve my purpose. In which case, I was hoping for any advice / recommendatons. Has anyone tried a good distro for tomcat. Have some good/bad experiences? TIA Mitch. |
i would suggest Slackware-10.2 or 11

What are the options like on choosing which packages (or equiv) you want from boot. For example I think KDE is more than I need and will be a burden... Thanks for the tip though - looking it up now...(!) |
as old as that machine is you have i suggest 10.2 and stick with a very light desktop such as blackbox...
Slackware offers a lot of choice in window managers... |

I've not tried slackware before so I might as well give it a go. What else are the evenings for? ;) Thanks for the recommendation. Anyone else? |
