Choice ultra lightweight linux distribution
Hello,
I will probably need to retype a laptop, an antique, to the office (word processing only, no internet).
It is a Pentium 233 MMX (Pentium 1, 233 Mhz:ohyeah: ) with 32 MB of ram, which does not much concern.
I am looking for a linux distribution that runs on roughly 32 MB of ram, even if it is ugly, with a graphical interface and a word processor. There is a usb1 port, I put (even in slow mode) a fat32 usb key and pass the word docs or rtf type (regardless of format, at the bottom) on a real pc (fixed) after. a discipline, a kind of wordpad suffice not need an open office.
I have Damn Small Linux distribution as mild (I still need a GUI, even minimalistic), but that's about it. if you have any advice ... it is a "real" install, livecd to test compatibility, but then installed for good. There is an integrated CD player.
Re: Choice ultra lightweight linux distribution
Here are few option that can be choice : Feather Linux: Fluxbox and IceWM,
Vectorlinux 5.1: Fluxbox, IceWM and Xfce.
Re: Choice ultra lightweight linux distribution
I will first test the two then I think:
- Feather Linux
- Vector Linux
Where, in relief:
- Damn Small Linux
I need to recover the machine this weekend.
Re: Choice ultra lightweight linux distribution
I downloaded it and tested a little on a VM in the meantime. I get the laptop tomorrow morning.
I like Vectorlinux works well and tip top for what I want to do. If the machine accepts (and agrees that the machine), it will be impeccable. By against on the official site they say 96 MB of ram (undoubtedly the GUI to select). If it does I flaps not over light. I need to track on the machine, scale, via a LiveCD first.
Thank you for everything!
