Subject: [PLUG] distro for laptop?
Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 02:30:46 -0500 (EST)
Hi everybody,
my laptop is currently dual boot Win98 and a munge of Red Hat and
Trustix. I'd like to make it Linux only, and also get some experience
with another distribution. Is there a distribution that would be
particularly suited to a/my laptop? If's a Vaio with 64Mb of RAM and a
6Gb hard disk, Pentium II processor. Display is a 14" NeoMagic
MagicMedia256AV. It has a Linksys Model NP100 ethernet card, and a built
in modem TEAC CD-224E cdrom drive and a Rockwell HCF 56K Speakerphone PCI
modem. It also has USB and infrared ports.
That's all I can think of to say about it. A lot of it is probably
irrelevant, but anyway.... I'd like a distribution that takes care of
installing X, and a window manager that looks/operates as much like
MS Windows as is available.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Wayne
