A 133 will run 9.1, but I wouldn't be expecting alot of speed..

in fact anything after 7.2 would be pretty slow.

I run 9.1 on one machine that is a 233mmx and its ok.. but I still don't use
it as a desktop machine  and it rairly runs a GUIm but when it does, its
iceWM... nice small and fast.

133 would make a nice little server for you though.


regards


Franki

Subject: [expert] Installation advice


I want to install Linux on an older laptop (Pentium 133Mhz), I had already
installed LM 7.2, but would like to have new versions of applications (like
Mozilla).  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what version of LM might
give me good performance on a Pentium 133Mh, 80 megs ram, (specifically what
kernel should I go with), but still makes it relatively easy to install a
newer browser, possibly gnumeric and abiword, without have to recompile
every
library because none of the newer apps is compatible with the older
libraries?  Or should I just bite the bullet and do everything the hard way,
compiling from source?

Thanks,

Dan
