Hello List. I want to run Linux on rather old PC. The PC is Pentium MMX 166 with 24M RAM, S3 Trio Video and 2,5Gb WD Hard Disk, motherboard is Intel 430 VX. I tried set up ASP Linux, but it hangs up during installation of packages (on ASP forum I was told that this distributive should work on my computer). Also I tried to set up Mandrake, but of cause it's failed die to low amount of RAM. Do I need older releases? But which ones should I try to use? Yes, I was reading a lot of FAQs and HOW-TOs, but I can't install anything at all. And I belive the problem is only in installation. Do I think right? What should I do? What distribution should I use? Can I setup Linux to my HDD on another PC so as it will be working lately when I plug it into my one? Any configuration hacks is not so terrible for me. I'm thinking now to run FBSD, but Linux certainly will be preferable. Can no more work with windows... Any experience?
