Operating Systems Linux Debian what is the best linux ver for p100 16 ram Post 90853 by rhfrommn on Monday 28th of November 2005 11:42:07 AM

I use Arch linux, and have run it on old slow hardware (but not quite as slow as a P100) with success. I would expect you could get a command line version running on your laptop, and maybe even throw on a super lightweight gui. It is NOT a newbie-friendly distribution since you do a lot of the configuration by hand. But in your case that is exactly what you want - you can install the base system and add the compilers an whatever else you need without any bloat or extra packages. There is good documentation, forums and a wiki, on their website which was enough help to get me going. You can find them at www.archlinux.org.
