Hi everybody,

I want to try Linux on a Pentium 166mmx with 40Mb RAM
and 524Mb Hard disk. I have never used Linux before.
Which distribution should I choose. If possible I
would like to be able to have a graphical interface. I
imagine I need to load a Linux distro a couple of
years old. New versions I have been checking require
massive amounts of Hard drive space.

By the way I also have a Pentium 200Mhz without mmx.
Which chip is faster the 166mmx or the 200 without
mmx? Supposedly mmx chips had larger integrated cache
memory and other optimizations which made them faster
than their non-mmx counterparts. Is this true in
everyday use? or is it just intel trying to make us
pay more for the mmx chips?

Cheers,


Inigo
