JoeFerguson Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Old Pentium II - 350 mHz 256 MB RAM Two hard drives, so I can easily dual boot. This is just going to be for an email/web browsing/word processing terminal. Will it be difficult for me to install drivers for my PCI wireless card, and my sound card? That was the problem I had when I dabbled with Redhat way back in '99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun with it, though, it's a great hobby! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the problem I had when I dabbled with Redhat way back in '99. PCLinuxOS or Ubuntu are two easy to use distros. Both have good communities for support. Of the two, I prefer PCLinuxOS as I find Ubuntu to be bloated. Personally, I use Zenwalk. It's a lightweight distro based off Slackware but only easier to work with and they have a good community as well. If either PCLinuxOS or Ubuntu cause your machine to be sluggish give Zenwalk a try. It's great on older hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
