[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 323926, member: 16173"] A friend was looking to bin his old Pentium 3 800MHz because of "lots of issues". Pretty low spec by today's standards, Maxtor IDE 6GB HDD formatted FAT 32 (+ another old 20MB one lying in there loose), 128MB RAM running Windows XP Home. I suggested putting LINUX on it, this would I get the feeling make best use of the low spec? He reckons he wants it for nothing more than a pc for browsing the net etc. (Plus I get to play with Linux a bit more!) Is the RAM a bit light for this idea? Got as far as cover off, a vacuum inside and that it will boot up into XP. Anyway, what would be the most appropriate LINUX distro to put on the thing? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
