Solve : need olderst os? |
|
Answer» i need an oldest OS " Linux , UNIX , ... " any new linux can survive and thrive on the computer specs you listed if you leave out kde or gnome. Even with them, it would be alright. Agreed. I've run Gnome successfully on much more "beastly" machines than that one. It may require a text-based installer and a good deal of patience for installation, but it will run fine.Way back in the last century I used Mandrake 7 with KDE on a K6-2 450 MHz machine with KDE and Gnome, but I think the RAM is going to be the bottleneck here, I had 256 MB I've ran opensuse on a pc with SIMILAR specs as well...... actually, I set up a computer for my 4 year old nephew with the exact same specs except a larger hard drive, and put opensuse on it with kde. All of the games worked good enough for a 4 year old. I did that a little more than a year ago.I currently have a Dell Dimension R450 with a PENTIUM II 450mhz and before I added more RAM it had 128MB. With the 128 memory I had Xubuntu installed. To install it you can't use the liveCD but the alternate install CD. I'm not sure how much hard drive space it used. My wife is using a laptop with a faster P-III 750mhz but only 192MB RAM and is running Ubuntu 8.04 (Gnome desktop) on a 10GB HD. On such a small drive I'd likely have to agree with the previous suggestion of using Puppy, DSL, Popcorn or one of the other minimalist Linux distros. Other than the above I'd FIND a larger hard drive in the range of at least 10GB to be useful. |
