    Yes it would make a difference and from your reply I assume your talking about Ubuntu or one of it's siblings?? Did you post to the excellent forums at the Ubuntu site? I'm sure from the reputation they have you would have an answer in no time. Or possibly www.linuxquestion.org?

    Oh, uh, good question. Now technically speaking, uhh, let's say, put me down as a... 'Whatever'?

    No need to assume. He mentioned it in the original post. :laugh: I see you're search abilities are impeccable.

    This statement was never false.

      I'd like to install Linux on a 466MHz 96MB RAM class machine. What Linux would be good for that? - Owen -

      Do a search for Puppy Linux, Pretty Damn Small Linux, and I think Slackware works well for the lower end machines. Debian probably would as well.

      This statement was never false.

        I want to install Linux in a VM. What is the current best Linux? I have heard good things about Ubuntu.

        Best wishes, Hans

        If you want something that just works, is very fast and friendly as well as good looking, I urge you to try PCLinuxOS, http://www.pclinuxos.com

          Actually he didn't mention it he quoted it, doooooh!! He actually made no reference to it at all he just said he installed "it". Therefore he could actually be talking about any of the ditros available. Anyway if my search skills where so poor I wouldn't be able to read this as I wouldn't have been able to connect to the internet (even though it is much simpler to achieve in *nix then windoz). And seeing as I can get on the net and search I can print this off as well..... Please remember that just because your unable to understand a technology doesn't mean you can't learn. There is no need to follow Microsoft in their lame and unfounded attempts to spread FUD because lets face it's down to users to install what they want to use and based on Vista there has never been more linux distros being downloaded.

            Puppy certainly looks interesting. Thanks! - Owen -
