[Sheflug] recommended 'distro' for K6 166
I've got a stand alone PC that I need to be able to do normal office/student
study type things on. Its a AMD k6- 166 with 82MB RAM and a 3GB hard disk.
It will need to run OpenOffice.org, web browsing, email and printing and be
easy for a windows user to migrate to (its for my sister at University and
her current OS is a bit of a drain on the PC and it keeps suffering from
virus infections too.)
I have a feeling KDE or GNOME will stretch it too much. Does anyone have
any recommendations as to an alternative to these that is lightweight (in
requirements) but still quite feature rich and window$ like? And to a
lightweight distribution that I can use this with?
Thanks
Chris Johnson
