Linux on an Acer Travelmate 210T


I have an Acer Travelmate 210T laptop with 184mb memory, 10gb hard drive, Intel Celeron processor (700 mhz I think). It has come to the end of its natural life as a real "working" machine but I would like to continue using it to help me learn to get the most out of Linux.

My question is, which distro can I use on it?

I have looked at loads of different options to the point where I am now incapable of making a decision!

I am using Ubuntu 5.10 on my working machine - which I love, but it won't run on the Acer because it is too old (I think)

Any help/advice would be much appreciated

May be you could run Live CD's of some distros and find out.
May be Fedora Core 1 would be one of the options considering the configuration of your laptop!
