What Linux brand to use on a Tulip PIII 650Mhz cpu and 192MB Ram notebook?
I have this old Tulip notebook with 40GB hdd and originally Windows 2kPro installed on it.
What Linux brand do I use here? Linux Mint seems a bit to heavy..... |

Slitaz, Antix maybe a few others would work OK on it. Might not be too fast. A swap file would sometimes help even on installers.
I think everyone here has their go to minimal distro. Each has good points and bad. Worth it to play with a few of them. |
i'm sorry, but is this a real computer (laptop)?
or some sort of pre-tablet palm device? does it have cd, usb? or how are you plannning to install? |
antiX should be fine. I wouldn't go for SliTaz, Puppy or TinyCore, they load their filesystem into RAM and you don't have much of that already, so better stick to a "traditional" approach with having the filesystem on a disk.

Heres an artical that covers oldies -- and this artical is old too because it makes mention of CrunchBang, but it maybe worth a read as their are still Distos pertaining to your situation.

The other side of the coin is that you speed up it a lot running from ram. Then swap file/partition would assist if you go out of that.
