| 67435 | 2002-08-02 00:02:00 | We are likely to get about 15 PCs which don't have an O/S. They are all have a P100 TO Mhz133 CPU. I don't know too much about them yet. Is there any free and stable O/S that will run well on a low spec PC? Linux? Can we run terminal services on a PC without windows? We want to do this very much on the cheap. I'd be happy if the machines could wordprocess and print to a print server. Any idea? |

| 67438 | 2002-08-05 02:54:00 | What flavour/version? Finding specs on linux sites is like searching for a needle in a . . . I've looked around a few sites . Not sure where to start . |
