Gentoo, help someone!
I downloaded the 1.4rc2 prelease of gentoo, and I know a little here and there about linux I have been using it for 2 years. But I poped in the gentoo disc into my old 166mhz computer, 8 gig hd, 64mb ram, pentium 1, and I am having some trouble installing it, I think I might give up on it and just choose to put on redhat 7.3, what do you think... any tips?
|
Well with Gentoo on that machine you will be compiling stuff forever and a day. probably best to go with a precompiled distro.
|
Like what distro, I tried slackware I got a segment fault, I tried redhat 8 it aborts abnormally and ejects cd and reboots computer in the middle of install, mandrake is too new for that computer. What else is there to use?
|
perhaps an older version of redhat you can get 7.2 or 6.2 off one the mirrors.
|
6.2 is SPARC I don't have that type of computer.
|
|
Try debian.One sure thing about debian is that it is all compiled for a i386 and the install isn't too resource intensive.
