Need distro that requires little memory and slow CPU.

Hey folx,

I have an old PC that has a P-MMX266 and 64MB of RAM. I need some distro that will work well with those. Slack runs to slow

Any other? I want to have an X-Windows system. This will be just a test (fuck around) machine.

ThnX!

umm... well, I spose you could use x11 with motif, or some other striped down bare bones WM. You could also scrounge up an old version of GNOME which is pretty light weight.

Linux command line should run nice and speedy I'm sure  ;)

flap:
That machine is far from old/slow. What window manager were you using with slackware?

edisav:
I use GNOME and KDE but quite honestly I prefer to stay away from Slack. It's either too hard or I'm too dumb.

I'd rather use a simpler distro that doesn't requiere so much tweaking.

ThnX!

KernelPanic:
Try the Slackware based distribution Vector Linux. It has the speed of Slackware but does the configuation bits for you, it uses icewm so should be pretty and lightweight.
