Which distro to pun on this computer?
Hello. My primary student laptop is Thinkpad T21 (P3-800mhz/512ram/30gb) I installed there latest Kubuntu and was very happy w/ it. But since I'm a newbie I killed some important data (i used dualboot with win2000)
So Now I have a separate laptop for my linux learning that I can do anything with it. Ibm Thinkpad 770 Cpu...... Pentium 1 - 233mhz mmx Ram........ 192mb (it won's see 2x256 slots, prolly too old) video resolution.. 1024x768 hdd.........20gb (can put more) I know this laptop might be little old, But that's what I have now. I would like any destribution that would work with REASONABLE SPEED on this laptop. What would you recommend? |
if you don't require the use of a graphical env. you could pick any. If you do, perhaps debian is for you, using xfce, a lightweight graphical env.

No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.
