I'm out of legal windows 98 cd's..which linux should I use for internet and open office and any games you caw think about. I'd load my redhat 9.0 but it's slow on my 500 amd..

    Try DamnSmallLinux. (I know you can install that on hard-disc.)

      ubuntu is supposed to be easy to use

      I like Suse but that cause novell support it - might be a bit resource hungry on pentium 1's thou

        Second on the DamnSmallLinux. That or some other Knoppix Variant. Ubuntu is nice, but not as nice on a small HDD.

              G13man: I'm finding Solaris a bit of a learning experience. It's a bit slow on my hardware (maybe I don't have enough RAM)
              It actually comes with StarOffice, which is based on OpenOffice so I'll use that until I can figure out how to install OpenOffice proper.
