tiny linux distro with decent gui???
« on: 24 February 2002, 06:02 »
ok.. here's the deal.
I've got an old laptop... pentium 100 with 16 megs of ram and a 1 gig harddrive.

I'm looking for a decent distro of Linux (with a decent, small-footprint GUI) which will install from floppies (since my backpack CDROM is fvxx0red).

I've been looking through the list on the front page but am going braindead trying to find something.

Anyone have any suggestions on what distros will run on a setup like mine?

OH.. also..
I'm only setting this thing up so that I can read email and surf the web when out of town on gigs with my band and on business (I have an old Rockwell 14.4 parallel modem)... and maybe screw around with a basic music tracker program when I'm bored.

anyone? anyone? Beuller? Beuller?

 ;)

I posted a reponse to this exact same query in the Lounge last night- check there.
I'm SERIOUS about Linux; are you??
