I have a computer here with 64mb of ram and a 6g hard drive and was wondering what distro would be good for it.

I had a similar computer a while back, and ran Puppy linux 5.0 or AntiX 8.5 on it. You could also try to install an older version of ubuntu such as 6.4 or 8.4 on it, though 6.4 is no longer supported.

Hah! With 64MB of RAM any Distro will cry to run as supposed IMO.
Still I'd suggest you to check on Slitaz Linux and Puppy Linux once.

Well I tried DSL and Puppy and a few other linux distros known to run good on Crap machines lol thanks to Jonathan183. I like Puppy and DSL but i cant follow the install guides to save my life. Idk if I'm just stupid or it it was because it was on VMware to test it before hand which i heard is harder to install on.

You can run both of them from a live CD, I suggest you try a live CD in the PC first. If you can boot from the live CD then the install should be straighforward in DSL or Puppy. Try the live CD first if you can in the machine you actually want to use it on ... decide which you prefer and then install if you need to after that

Ok Jonathan I'll see what i can do. If i can't figure it out I'll send you a message and maybe you can help me out.

Thank You all for your insight on the situation was all helpful.

[Jonathan183]

If i can't figure it out

... post back or start a new thread with the distro & the problem you are having ... good luck
