awhatty Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Mandrake, Ferdre, redhat,susi, look at www.linuxiso.org or any major bittorrent site for dowloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Indeed. Basically any distro should do. Just make sure you start by just installing the bare minimum and build up from there. Running KDE would NOT be in your best interest... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentinel Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 BSD will do it. Actually, (as was said) many distros will as long as you don't use X (gnome, kde, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 You could do a bare minimal install of anything, then add Xorg and Fluxbox, then build up other programs you need. Although you won't be running Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
