Hi
I have an old 486 box with the following specs:
Intel 486DX2 - 66MHz, I think
16 MB RAM
1.2 GB Hard Disk
6 Speed CDROM
3Com ISA Network Card
1MB Cirrus Logic VESA Local Bus Video card - Are VLB cards problematic with Linux?
I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to recommend suitable distros (not necessarily Mandrake) for this low-spec system.
Plus, what sort of use could this machine be? Is it worth keeping or should I just scrap it?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards
Kamal
