Debian and its clones In my never ending search for the ultimate challenge, I decided to remove Gentoo Linux from my trusty laptop and install something else that wasn't as resource starving. Thus, Debian was selected.

RE: slow computers - resouces

I was wondering what the best linux for 'old' computers is.
my dad has a pentium 3 600 MHz machine
what would be the best distro -> fastest running with good usability for my dad on this machine


For a Windows user that don't want to find out how to config things on the commandline? Xandros Linux. For the diehard that want a quick, small _and_ up2date system? Slackware. For the ones who want to have a reliable desktop with a rocksolid system behind? Free- or NeTBSD. I use Free- and NetBSD for desktops :-)
