OK so I am fairly computer literate. I have been around computers all my life and know enough. But now I am taking on a bigger task and could use some help. Here is what I am dealing with.
My wife and I are going to be running a Christian school this next year at the church. We are going with a curriculum that is online based and live streaming. System requirements are going to be 1mb for each computer connected at the same time. No problem looking at 8mb-12mb speeds.
Equipment
We currently have donated
4 computers with win98se and 4 with win2000pro.
Now the specs on the computer are obviously not the greatest. And since these systems will not run win7 I am looking for another option.
It is my understanding that xp is not sold anymore. Three of the computers with 2000pr have xp auth codes on them and one of the auth codes is missing the last 5 characters. So I can upgrade 2 of the 3 to xp. I highly doubt we are even going to be using the computers with 98.
Now I am trying to see if there is a FREE OS out there that is light and user friendly that I could put on these systems that are going to be used for internet only. I have found several out there but am only familiar with win and mac. Unsure of linux and others. I am wanting to find an OS that is VERY basic. I need internet and sound and that is about it. If it can run word or similar great if not I will have a separate system for that. Any help you can give is appreciated.
