Hello, A shelter for 8-10 kids where I do some volunteer work is using an old comp with Win98 on it. It's a Celeron 733MHz, 128 MB RAM but 1.2 GB hard disk and an old monitor that can do 800x600 max.
I originally installed some games and a few funny videos for the kids, but nothing more due to lack of space. Recently, when I ran Knoppix live CD on it, I was amazed to see all the decent amount of s/w they have packed in there, and it's quite fast too. Ubuntu didn't do well. It was too slow to load and froze at one point. So I tried installing it but it said min space required was 1.8 GB or something so I gave up. My questions: 1. Do you know of a good distro that's lightweight (think 1.2 GB HD), but has enough stuff to keep the kids interested? Not just games but some educational s/w too. 2. Is FreeDuc a good option or is it too educational? 3. What do you think of running Knoppix Live CD all the time but writing files/config etc. to the hard disk? This is something I have thought of doing but didn't spend enough time to see if it can be done. Thanks in advance, -Makarand -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
