I would like a recommendation on a linux distro for an old laptop. It's an IBM Thinkpad T20, Pentium III processor, 256MB Ram, about 12GB Hard Drive, so I don't have a huge amount of space to work with. It does have a DVD drive for installation.
I want to use the computer to open documents and files that come from untrusted sources. The laptop has Mandriva 2006 on it right now and OpenOffice from that time won't open the .docx document that I want to check out. So it would be a good time to just upgrade the whole operating system and get the most recent OpenOffice in the process. Besides opening questionable files I might also check email on it. That's probably about it. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
