In the configuration you describe, the bottleneck will probably be memory. WinNT will bottleneck at swapping memory. Linux will run blazingly fast if you use a light window manager like Sawfish so I recommend ditching Gnome or KDE if you can help it. Also, avoid a memory-hogging browser like Mozilla (unless you strip out everything but the browser.)
I also second Dylan's opinion of Debian. But RedHat may work okay. -Mark (just installed Debian on a Pentium 166 and happy, though w/o X) On Thu, 17 Jul 2003, karthikeyan.balasubramanian wrote: > Hi, > > We are planning to put linux on our old systems where > our marketting people work extensively on > > * browsers > * $M Word > * $M Excel > * $M PowerPoint > * $M Outlook Express > > System conf > ----------------- > old cyrex guess its should be in the > range of 200 to 400 Mhz > with 32 to 64 MB RAM. > running on WinNT > > Now they challenged me that Linux > OpenOffice, Browsers cant run faster then their Windoze speed. > I would like to take this as a challenge and want to install > a flavour of linux which works bit faster then Windoze with > that configuration. > > Any suggestion hints would be very helpful to get me > equiped beforehand. > > Should i try 6.2 version of linux(Redhat). > > Have a great day. > > Karthikeyan B > > > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech > -- Mark K.
