My lowest level (and most reliable by reputation) is a 1993 IBM PS/ValuePoint 486DX4-100. 32 MB ram. ISA bus. Target hard drive is 171 MB IDE. Floppy, CD, and 100 MB Zip drives; will not run CD-burner and no USB. Looking for a distro that I can keep updated/secure/stable. Think of it as a firewall, documentation browser, emailer. 2.4 or 2.6 I don't care as long as its up-to-date re secure and stable. The problem with just going with generic Debian is the size of the stable/main section for aptitude to wade through (memory and drive space). It would be nice if main was split into main and extra. Because of memory constraints, a live CD probably won't work. Thanks. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
