Which Distro for these comps?

Hi all,

I am having problems finding the right distro to install on these computers. I currently have edubuntu on them but it seems to be a little too resource heavy for these machines.
They have in them:

Celeron 600mhz
128mb SDRAM
32mb onboard video
10gb HDD

Edubuntu is using 120mb of memory idling on the desktop let alone when you want to start something up. so its a bit of a nightmare at the moment.
I am not fussed about using A or B as long as it works and has enough functionality for the novices using it.

Thanks in advance for replies

hi sheik,

Welcome to the LinuxForums.

lightweight distros should work fine on those machines. check this DIstro Look thread. if you have any specific questions, please go right ahead and post them.
