Hi, My neighbour is sick of his Windows 98 and now wants Linux on his desktop machine too, after using Kubuntu on his laptop. His is an old P3 566MHz computer with 96MB RAM. He needs to play videos, mplayer will do. For music, I need suggestions for a lightweight mp3 player. He needs something WinAmp-ish. Amarok, he loves, but its too heavy. I hate xmms and I heard bmp is not being developed these days.. I'm thinking about trying out XFCE and if it seems heavy, Fluxbox will be the default. Now the question about the distro arises, because I need all the above mentioned packages in the repository of that particular distro. Also, the packages need to be compiled for i686 rather than pentium4, like Fedora is these days, if i'm not mistaken.. Should I try out Xubuntu? Or do you have suggestions for some other distro?
How about Vector Linux(http://vectorlinux.com/)? -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
