Re: More mileage from an ancient machine

Don't even bother attempting to install Ubuntu, Xubuntu, etc., on the

and run that. You can experiment with Knoppix & DSL, but if you really
want to maintain a useful machine (albeit with a poor OS) that can
reasonably run an office suite stick to Win95/MSO97 on the machine.
Don't even try Win2K or Win2KP. Sorry, but IMO that is your best bet.

Are you really saying there aren't distros less resource-hungry than
Win2K+MSOffice. I find that highly unlikely. If nothing else you can
use Fluxbuntu with AbiWord and probably get better performance than Win2K.
