Ive got a list of criteria the OS must be able to provide. Im hoping the minds that are up to date with infinite choices of linux may be able to help me pick a distro to try out.
My needs:
-OS must not cripple my system and run slow
-I do alot of web browsing
-streaming video, divx/xvid etc..need a good video player compatible with those type files
-Needs to be small, system is old- 60gig hdd, 512mb ram, intel single core 1.46ghz
-Needs to be pretty user friendly, the easier it is to make the transition the better
I DO NOT do :
-much word processing
-video/media editing/producing
-gaming
to sum it up, I sit on facebook, go on hotmail, surf random websites and watch movies. I work 3 weeks away from home, in the bush and use this as my connection to my wife/kids and as a source of entertainment via music/movies/browsing
Thanks for any input!
