Levyon 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Has anyone ever messed with Linux? I'm having to setup three old computers with Linux for my internship. At the moment I'm going with Puppy Linux (Yes, I realize it sounds gay.). Would like to know if there is a better Linux for computers made around 98 besides DSL(Damn Small Linux) or Puppy Linux.

Pinoy 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Has anyone ever messed with Linux? I'm having to setup three old computers with Linux for my internship. At the moment I'm going with Puppy Linux (Yes, I realize it sounds gay.). Would like to know if there is a better Linux for computers made around 98 besides DSL(Damn Small Linux) or Puppy Linux.Wayyyy too many distributions to choose from, which is why Linux is a bit complicated.I had good results with openbsd, and I think it was Red Hat?I'm not exactly sure what would be the best for a W98, but check those out.

Levyon 0 Posted March 1, 2008 BSD is not linux and Red Hat? Thats probably going to be a alternative to Microsoft OS' for computer companys. Red Hat is one of the best Linux OS' but not for a load a shit 98 computer... Thanks though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levyon 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Yeah, I might be able to do an old version of Ubuntu. I'm trying right now to get Linux on a 300Mhz computer with 256Mb of ram. Fun fun... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwitchBlade 1 Posted March 3, 2008 Ubuntu is the best for beginners, once you get some experience you can start using Gentoo Linux. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levyon 0 Posted March 3, 2008 I'm about to put Ubuntu Ultimate on a dual boot on my computer. I have tried, but it won't let me resize my partition... But yes, Ubuntu is one of the best out there besides Red Hat, but Ubuntu is more user friendly. lol My boss told me to put on Puppy Linux on all the computers... But he is the boss so I have to obey. Problem solved Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cityismine Posted March 15, 2008 How about Fluxbuntu or Xubuntu. Theses are ubuntu distros with much lighter windows managers. I think Fluxbuntu is speedily fast, since it uses the fluxbox windows manager. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levyon 0 Posted March 16, 2008 lol Ubuntu Ultimate is insane. Its on a DVD. Thats how big it is. It has tons of 3D editing software, features, preinstalled apps, and stuff like that. It is a very needy OS though. My boss said it should work with 2gigs of ram I would use it all the time, if it supported Windows programs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
