[yoni779]

hi i have a new laptop pentium 2 ram 256 363 mhz. that i got from a friend and i have 2 quastions:
1.what is the best linux that work on that laptop that easy to work on (i think its could desktop linux)?
2.i know that a stupid qustion but can i run on it games with wine like warcraft 3 (magicgrph 256 avdriver) thtat is the screen card

You'll probably be best with a lightweight distro, like Antix, Vector, or Puppy.

I don't know what the system requirements are for WoW 3, but I believe it will run with WINE.

any distro using xfce would work for that laptop, as for war3, its doubtful that it would run very well, these are recommended specs for it:

600 MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, 32 MB 3D video card, DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card (Windows)

Not on that machine. It's hard enough to get WoW working in Linux (an operating system it was never designed to support) without bumping up against the bare minimum requirements to play the game in MS Windows.

just to clarify for anyone else posting, the OP is talking about playing Warcraft 3 not World of Warcraft

thx alot really one can you tell me which is better puppy or antix your opinion

I just realized that Linux Mint Fluxbox will run on 128 MB ram, so my vote goes to try that out.

Felicia Release Notes - Linux Mint

Oh, missed that. In that case 256MB of RAM might well be enough. Not sure on the video card though.

Blizzard Entertainment - WarCraft III

Sorry you feel that way as Anti runs Icewm and Fluxbox and is based on Debian Lennyand Mepis with Synaptic Package manger . Flux box Mint (which I also run) is about the same as Antix but based on Ubuntu and Mint.

You could try Zenwalk with your specs (Slackwarebased) uses XFCE desktop and a Package manager also. With your specs KDE or Gnome desktops would struggle a little .

Xubuntu might be the ticket for ya

Edit
