mandrake version for P166


What version of mandrake would work good on a pentium 166 laptop, 32mb ram, 2 GB drive? Thanks for any help.

Given your modest hardware, I'd recommend a distro like vector linux or damn small linux instead of mandrake. They're specifically designed to run on older hardware. If you want to use mandrake, try mdk 8.2 but I doubt that kde or gnome would run very well on your hardware, if at all. You'll have to use a lighter weight window manager like icewm or blackbox.
