Ok, I just got my sister's old pc (this thing is slow). It had Windows 98 on it, but it is running so slowly that I was just going to reformat the HD and install a faster OS (linux).
Then the HD crapped out, so I figured I would use it a s a dumb terminal where it would just browse the net without a HD at all.
The system is this: Athalon processor, 650mhz 64mb RAM.
I tried Slax, didnt work (hung up- just got 2 icons on the desktop and thats the further it gets- cd spins indefinitely)
I tried Damn Small Linux, didnt work (gave me an error that said it was pausing for 30 seconds, and this went on indefinitely).
I tried Ubuntu, but it froze at start up screen (I assumed not enough RAM).
Which distro, if any, will work?
