    Which distro of Linux?

    I had an old pc laying around I tried installing Foldix on but that failed mierably. Anyway...

    What distro of linux should I use for this pc (specs will be listed below). I intend to use it for folding and as a backup PC and something to use to read directions on incase I need to do something to my PC I can have directions right here.

    533MHz PIII-based Celeron
    256MB SDRAM unknown speed (probably PC100)
    ASUS MEW-VM
    10gb hard drive
    no video card
    Linksys LNE 100TX network card (no onboard LAN)

    If anyone could suggest a Linux distro and direct me to some Linux dirvers for this thing I... uhh... will send you an e-cookie and click the thanks button!

    Linux mini-distro for 486

    I'm an NT expert, but a linux newbie. I'd appreciate any tips for the following machine.

    1./ Old compaq laptop 486/75Mhz 16MB RAM

    2./ Currently running WFW 3.11

    3./ Want to upgrade OS to slightly more modern but needs to operate with this older machine with limited RAM

    4./ My options seem to be (based on minimum spec. requirements): NT 4.0, Windows 95 OSR2.5, or a very small "linux distro".

    Do you have any tips? Most of the linux distros require 128MB and P3. Can anyone suggest anything for this old 486? If not, I think I'll try NT 4.0 since it is "inbetween" win95 and win98.
