I prefer to run Debian, specifically Sidux, which is distro based on Debian Sid.
There are also other distros to consider that are geared towards a small footprint and efficient resource utilization such as Puppy, damn small linux, or even FreeBSD, etc... Also, I noticed that the Google Chrome browser uses mem/cpu resources more efficiently than Firefox. There's 2 other *lightweight* graphical browsers I've heard good things about but never used that you might want to check out: Dillo and Arora. Just some options to buy you some time and make using your current computer a lil' more tolerable... _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
