I highly recommend Puppy Linux <http://www.goosee.com/puppy/index.shtml>. I use it on an old Pentium 133 with 64MB RAM and it works great. It includes Firefox or Mozilla, a word processor, spreadsheet, some games and most system tools. There are a few versions around. If you have 128MB of RAM it will run fully in RAM (unlike Knoppix) so you can use the CDROM drive for other things. There is also Damn Small Linux <http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/> that you might like to try. Gus -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
