Simple Linux...

What is the best Linux for a really old computer, like P1 133Mhz?


thank you

For something that old, you may want to look into Slackware with a light window manager like ICEwm or fluxbox; Vectorlinux would also be a good choice (it's based on Slack). Debian is a staple for older machines as well. The most important thing is that you won't be able to run Gnome or KDE with much success, so a light window manager is a definite must.

The minimum I have ever run KDE on is 200 mhz pII :shock:

Besides the ones mentioned, Damn Small Linux (DSL) would also be a good choice. I'd also recommend a light GUI, maybe Xfce or IceWM. DSL has Fluxbox, I think.

MiniSlack might also be a good option. It comes with XFCE4... 8)

Vector Linux will have something for you

Thank you all for your replies, but I think I'll go with:

one question, does minislack actually comes with XFCE4 or do I need to set it up by myself?
