Hi. I am not sure if I have asked this on here, but I am looking for a lightweight distro to run on a ThinkPad 600. It is a 300Mhz with 160MB of RAM. It originally had Mandriva 2008 on it but it was just too slow. I would like a Ubuntu based distro, purely because of the software repositories and hardware support. I have tried Xubuntu and it was too slow. I have tried Fluxbuntu and it was rubbish. I have tried WattOS, but it was too slow. Im now downloading CrunchBang to see how that goes. These are all running of a live CD, so a proper install would have run better. I tried Damn Small Linux Not earlier today, but am having problems getting my Buffalo wireless card working under ndiswrapper. So, can anyone recommend a good lightweight distro with Firefox and Flash support that will run comfortably on this hardware. I have a number of wireless options: A Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A PCMCIA card (which works with restricted drivers in Ubuntu)An Edimax EW-7108P PCMCIA card.A Pluscom/ZyDas ZD1211B USB stickAn Asus WL-167G USB stick. Please can anyone recommend a good distro.
