Which Linux?

[MarkW7]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the link to the linux test you can take - were you answer question and it tells you at the end.

Or anyone here can help;

P2; 333MHz
Ram; 256.
MS6132

It's just a computer someone handed me and i don't want to chuck it but i dont know what to do with it.

333 ,

I've got Ubuntu on my Laptop so i know the Basics i didnt know if it'd run on such a slow 333.
Doing test now, thanks.

DSL?

 

[MarkW7]

Yeah, i want the smallest linux going.

On the test i keep getting;
Open suse,
Fedora.

Then
Ubuntu [Computer May be to slow]

I've read through some linux's and like everyone on here has said it needs XCFE interface instead of Gnome / KDE.

I don't really know what it is apart from a simpler desktop enviroment? Can i get Ubuntu and put XCFE on it?

Could someone list the Distros with XCFE's installed?

Thanks.

 

[MarkW7]

Yep, it probably would.

I really don't know what to get

 

[MarkW7]

The options are;

DSL
Gentoo (xfce4)
Arch
Slackware
Slitaz
Puppy Linux
Tiny core linux
xubuntu with XFCE
Debian
CrunchBang
TinyMe

Network testing, only aircrack really but i suppose i could use it as a router because that'd also help

 

[MarkW7]

I've only used Ubuntu and Bt3 in the past and that was for a few hours - i don't really know the ins and outs.

Hello again

I have gone with CrunchBang Linux [Ubuntu based with less specs] but what i need to do is get a start menu on there which means a different windows manager?
All i need is a simple thing like the Windows 98 start menu

Any ideas?
