"I am faced with a challenge: I need to find a Linux distribution that is both small enough, efficient enough and easy enough to maintain for my laptop. Realizing that all Linux distributions are not created equal, I did my research and was able to narrow my list to a handful of distributions that may be suitable for my needs and my laptop. Throughout the course of this article, I am going to test each of these distributions on my laptop and discuss my experiences. I will attempt to install and evaluate each distribution for a period of a couple of days. Based on my findings, I will select the distribution that best suits my needs."

I have an old PII 233 MHz with 48 MB and the only distros that have ever worked are Slackware and DSL, right now I have Slack 10.2 on it running fluxbox. It runs quite fast for such an old computer, and it looks awesome thanks to fluxbox.
