| 384920 | 2005-08-31 05:51:00 | I've an old PII machine with 128 MB RAM and would like to experiment this with Linux. Can I install Linux on this old machine? C Is there any "Free" Linux where I can download it? Your views and recommendations, please. Cheers |

| 384921 | 2005-08-31 05:58:00 | It will probably be best to stick with one of the older, less "improved" versions. Mandrake 9 should be reasonably usable. I run RedHat 9 on a Compaq with 96MB. (I run Slackware with a 2.0.6 kernel on a 386sx20 with 6MB of memory,, but perhaps you don't want to go that far.). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 384922 | 2005-08-31 06:27:00 | Is there any "Free" Linux where I can download it? Most linux distros are free. There are quite a few sites that list all the different distros - just google for "linux distros" |
