Re: which linux



You can try Mandrivalinux LE 2006 or Mandrivalinux 2007 Free. For Canon
i560 printer you can use Canon s500 diver.
SuSe Linux 10.1 is not bad
Ubuntu 6.06.

I'd like to use Linux since Windows 98 seems to be working very slowly
on my elderly PC. I blame a lot of that on the need to run separate
firewall and antivirus software.

Have you any suggestions which Linux to use?

I need to run a Canon i560 printer as a network printer - this PC will
be used as a printer server and possibly a file server too. It's other
use will be for web browsing, newsgroup reading/posting and mudding.

The computer specifications are:
Processor: GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 8 598 MHz Stepping 6
Math Support: On Chip
BIOS: American Megatrends
Bus Type: PCI,ISA,USB
Ports: 1 Parallel, 1 Serial
Memory: 127 MB (82% Utilized)
Floppy Disks: 1.44 MB
Hard Disks: 9.32 GB
Multimedia: Sound, CD-ROM
Video: 1024x768 in True Color, Intel(R) 810e Chipset
Graphics Driver (DC133 FSB133) 4.11.01.1361 Ver. 4.0

It's a Dell Dimension L600CX.

Any suggestions?
