Ideal linux distro for an intel dot station pc ?
My cousin has a Intel dot station PC, with 128 mb RAM and 4 GB Hdd. He wants to discard it, but I think he can use Linux and make best use of the machine. Am i right ? XP is now running fine on it. But I don't think it can last long. Can someone suggest an excellent Linux distro that can do the internet, open office apps with this capacity. And is SLAX good enough ? I have tried DSL, puppy linux, mepis, lupu, peppermint etc. but NONE of them installed properly. Please advise.

Let's troubleshoot why every distro you've tried to install has failed. Talk us through what you tried and what error messages you received.

Most of the distro's I tried to install show no screen activity at all. Even the smallest one's. Only one error I remember is like "Failed to get reply tty..." (if I remember correctly). SLAX on the other hand, opened up after a long time but I don't know how to install it to the hard drive. I have a 'live' CD. And it's terrible slow ! Ubuntu 9.0 simply scrolls too fast with many errors.
Being a windows guy with an interest in Linux, I am very disappointed that I am not able to do a basic install. Is there no Linux distro that has been tested on a Intel dot station PC ?? Please help. |
