I have been running Gentoo on a Pentium-75 with 14MB Ram for more than half a year now, and I am impressed. I have not been able to Gentoo anything running on it due to low memory except Gentoo and LFS.

No remarkable good experiences with other distros, but not so many bad as that would count. Timo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
