If you want a very fast easy to configure distro, try mepis antiX 8.5. It's Debian based with Fluxbox and IceWM window managers. It ran great on a 11 yr old Dell w/ P 933mhz cpu and 128 RAM. One of the best with old machines and its srcreams on a now PC.
Also my favorite distros to get new people (or anybody else) to use Linux, is Mint and Mandriva. http://distrowatch.com/ On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 7:58 AM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]>wrote: > On Tue, 9 Mar 2010, Marvin Kosmal wrote: > > > Bingo........... > > I will try Fedora for the rest of the week.... > > This brings up a related question: what criteria do you (collectively, > not > just Marvin) use in selecting a distribution?
