right linux Distro
 

Hi,
I have been messing around with linux for a while, but i need some help on finding a good distrobution that is right for me. I have a Pentium 3 with 320 mb of RAM. I want a lgihtweight interface (lxde or enightenment or anything lighter) that looks like a Mac (ubuntu-ish, but not Ubuntu), and that can be installed easily. It needs to be able to get some of the ubuntu repos to if possible and have a simple command-line. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

PS: I need help to use VLC in firefox.

Any possibility of upgrading your hardware? A good basic configuration (these are the minimum specs for Ubuntu but should be applicable to just about any distro):

If you are stuck with the Pentium 3 then I recommend a "lightweight" distro; my personal Top Three are: CrunchBang, AntiX, SliTaz. If you want to stay with the Ubuntu family then your best bet is Lubuntu (Ubuntu + LXDE).

With 320MB you could run the following, all recommended
Bodhi with Enlightenment
WattOS (based on Ubuntu): the most configurable LXDE distro
SalineOS, Salix, Vector Standard, or ZevenOS with Xfce

See my reviews on this site.

IT's a pentium 3 Katmai. would those distros work?

Slackware should do the job. You will not be able to acess Ubuntu packages.

But some lightweight desktop environments work on it.

Yes. RAM is more important than speed. I once ran Ubuntu on a laptop with an underclocked Pentium M; it had 2GB of RAM, though. All Pentiums starting with Pentium Pro are compatible: only the Pentium I will give trouble with some distros.
