    What is possible to run on my computer?

    I want to make use of an old tower we have. However im looking for
    the cleanest simplest install that would run on my machine. Keep in
    mind im Mac user and id prefer if it was minimal code for install.
    I was thinking Suse but its too demanding on the hardware.

    AMD Athlon 850 Mhz
    64mb RAM
    20 GB HD
    CD-Drive

    Heres Gateways Detail list of components for my puter

    The whole idea is i just need it for web & web development.
    If there is a versiion that comes w/ apache, mysql, & Php that
    would be grand.

    Thanks Yo

    Your most limiting factor on that machine is your RAM. The processor and harddrive space are fine for most modern distributions. You wouldn't be able to run anything too graphics-intensive with an Nvidia TNT-2, though. We have some recommendations for older PCs in this thread:
