VaKo Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Personally I would recommend FreeBSD (more stable, easier to use, requires minimal resources and has a cooler mascot), but if you insist on Linux then Debian/Ubuntu or Fedora/CentOS. But at the end of the day Linux is Linux, aside from the package manager its all pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopez1364 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Puppy Linux :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subl1m1nal Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Pentium 2....latest Ubuntu is out of the question. Try those small distros. As lopez recommends Puppy. I think theres another one called Damn Small Linux or something like that. I can't say I've used either of those. FreeBSD is pretty cumbersome in my opinion.
