I like the Mepis rolling update KDE linux, that is quite different than Ubuntu's make everything new every 9 months phlosophy... On the other hand the video discovery in Puppy will allow the intel 1024x768 16-bit intregrated video cards to load out of the box. Puppy is one of the few distro that works well in this department 3.1, 4.0 and the latest release 4.1 are very good with the odd screen resolution video cards in the older hardware... I would never move an older computer to the curb any more, I would download mepis 8, if you have a desktop with 256 MB, and puppy 4.1 if you have less memory to work with or a video card that was added later... Both of these distro run well as live CD, to check if you have working hardware, as sometimes a computer sitting in the back of a closet was placed there for a reason... JR the postman |
