Looking for a compact OS

[awelsh]

Netbooks run Ubuntu and work well. They have like 99mb RAM or something terrible

Thanks, but I don't think it will as the website says 256MB

Make that 512MB or 1GB .

Thanks

I wouldn't try Ubuntu, it's meant to run on about 512MB, like someone said, it's not much good on 256MBs.

I'd look for Windows 95 and if not I'd go for Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux.

Whys everyone saying 95 IM sure it could run 2000 pretty fine, it originally had 98 on there, till I updated to XP lol

Ill take a look at Puppy Linux now Just finished downloading Damn Small Linux

+rep to whoever I can, if you don't get one its because I need to spread

Have you tried Xubuntu? It's a variant of Ubuntu built for lower specification machines. Meaning that it needs less RAM and CPU speed to run well.
I use it on a Intel Celeron laptop, 600Mhz and 128 RAM. It's slow to boot but it runs well.

Or you can use Damn Small Linux like ***** suggested. That only takes about 50mb of HDD space and ran on my laptop.

Thanks, think ill either be putting puppy linux or windows NT 4.0 on there.

Or I might just gut the two machines and put the HDD, DVD drives etc.. in the 3rd computer.
