I have just had a look here:
http://www.linux.org/dist/list.html
I found 164 distros listed!
What I did find was that there are a few distros there that appear to be
designed for really old dunga boxes.
I know that Nick Elder knows his way around Peanut Linux but is that a distro
that runs well the old vintage boxen?
When I speak to a lot of people about Linux they ask whether it can run on old
equipment. People who bought $2000 boxes 5 years ago feel hard done by now.
Is there anybody coming that could get say an old 486 running a (graphical!)
browser and email client?
What distro would they use?
What is the lowest spec machine that can honestly get graphical standard
software going.(that's browser,email,simple wordprocessor/editor)
I was just think ("wiv my braincell" to quote Chris H :-)
That this might attract those dissaffected people with old dungas if we can
give them a bit more life out of them.
Thanks,
Zane
