I posted a little while ago about this machine that I have 'inherited' from a friend.
Proc: Pentium 120 RAM: 48MB (upgraded from 16) Hard Drives: (1) 3GB and (1) 2GB This machine has no CD ROM (and no space for it since there are 2 Hard Drives) a Network Card and 3.5 inch floppy. It is currently running Windows 95 and at one time was configured to boot to Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. I would like to set this machine up to learn Linux. I already have a machine running Mandrake 9.0 but I don't feel that I am learning anything with it. I would like to get more familiar with the command line, maybe run a webserver and mysql, a minimal desktop environment, if any, etc. I would like to stay with mandrake, if this is posible. If not, can someone recommend another distribution of Linux? As I said, there is only the network card and the 3.5 inch floppy to install anything. I would also like advice on partitioning and swap space setup. I would like to make the most of what I have. I dont see putting a lot of files on this machine so I can use the space for memory or whatever. I have no problem with deleting the win95 or whatever else is on this machine. URL's, advice, instructions, ideas welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- ThinKer email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://thoughtprogress.com -------------------------------------------- ...fear controls knowledge controls fear ... --------------------------------------------
