No really... :D

231343 2004-04-24 03:58:00 But you can't play mp3s on a 128k XT. While there are some nice textmode, dos mp3 players around, for anything with at least 16mb linux will be much more flexible, and probably more stable.

The vector linux specs are much more generous that what you get from MS, etc. There is no reason it wouldn't run on a 486, but since a 486-100 can barely manage 128k mp3 its not really relevant.


heni:
There is quite a choice in distros that will run on you hardware. But I doubt you will find anything ready made.
Personally I would go with debian because it is flexible, but it would be a bit of work. I haven't tried vector linux.

On the hardware listed above, I don't see why you couldn't use XMMS (check out the XMMSd plugin too).

For text-mode, mp3blaster + SSH would work well.

231345 2004-04-24 11:33:00 IIRC, Vector Linux comes with mpg123 or mpg321 (mpg321 is slightly more advanced), which is needed to play mp3's.

Its dead easy to setup too :-)


Chill.
