I've not used any of these however they do look cool! http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ http://www.xubuntu.org/ Keith AZ Pete wrote: Hi All, My brother has an old laptop he'd like to put Linux on. The specs of the system are: 300Mhz processor 256Mb Ram 5Gb hard disk I'm very familiar with Redhat, Suse and the other "big boys". But these are simply to resource intensive for this machine and run very sluggish. We've even tried Knoppix with little success. Any recommendations of a small footprint distro that would run well on this type of system with a GUI interface?
