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

I'd try CentOS3 as something with older, less bloated code but still full featured and supported.

But, if several are going to the same place and they can come up with a faster machine or even a PIII with lots of RAM for a server, they might do better using ltsp with these machines as network-booting thin clients, in which case the K12LTSP distribution would be the easiest thing to put on the server and you can just pull the hard drives out of the clients.
