I'm really bored, quiet frankly I haven't been on here lately, I decided to start working on a random laptop my grandfather has, its a Compaq Armada 7800 with the following specs:
266mhz Pentium II MMX
224mb ram (128+64 and 32 onboard?)
S3 Virge/MX
no hard drive/caddy, but i have a 4gb usb drive and a 20gig hdd waiting for use
CD-Rom
I thought about putting on windows 2000, but that seemed too generic and easy. I'm currently downloading Ubuntu 5.10 after having some fun with 12.04(idk why the f* I even tried that XD).
I've been looking up some stuff for it, at first it looked bleak and option-limited, until i found the massive world of linux-distro's.
What would run the best/fastest/most fun/usable/user-friendly/etc on this machine, I plan to add a wireless card via PCMIA.
I'm currently looking at:
- puppy linux
- DSL
- Lubuntu
- Ubuntu 6 and previous
- Windows 2000
- SliTaz
Any help appreciated
