Re: Compaq Presario 5BW120 - Recommend linux dist

I guess u can go for Red Hat Linux 9. This is quite old with outdated
Qt Libraries etc. But good for slow processor based systems and less of
RAM. The KDE also does not take up much space in memory.
I have PIII 600Mhz with 98 MB RAM. It worked just fine.
Finding Red Hat Linux 9. Could prove to be a daunting task.

hi, i need a recommendation for a 600MHz compaq; I don't have an extra
Windows license so i'd like to use this to mess around with linux. Can
any of you recommend a distribution for a machine with the following
specs:

Processor: ........................ Intel Celeron processor - 600
MHz

System Bus: ........................................... 66 MHz system
