LXer: Looking for a small Linux that will run with a GUI in 4MB of RAM
Published at LXer:
I have been given a really old Laptop, it has a 486 DX 66 MHz CPU and 4 Meg of RAM. It's currently running Win 95. I'd like to find a tiny Linux that I can run on it.
DeLi Linux maybe? It was tested on a computer with 16MB of RAM, so if you are lucky maybe it is fine with 4MB. It is the lowest RAM requirement for a distro that I've seen.
