Re: small machine needs a small linux.



2007/12/31, Ric Moore <wayward4now@xxxxxxxxx>:
Anyone know offhand if there is a "small linux" distro that also uses
rpms? I've got some PII's and PIII's to install to, and then give them
away to our charity. So, I'd like something that can make use of these
old machines and include a CD with each of them. Thanks in advance, Ric

Hey Ric!
First off, I wish you a very good 2008!
And regarding the issue, I guess it is going to be used for Desktop
purposes, right?
Do you need it _only_ rpm based? If so, why?
Anyways, my recommendation is Damm Small Linux, it is a really good
distro for such "old" boxes...

All the best
Manuel
