well after trying redhat and mandrake i have learned nuthing and dont want to bother with that crap anymore ,,
so here is the situation .
i want to setup a smooth working linux distro on my old computer
- pentium 2 - 266mhz - 64mb of ram - 6gig hd (maybe upgraded to 15gig)
computer will be used for internet - IM - email - mp3 - and everything else computers are used for except hardcore 3d games and photo software. and then setup to host a teamspeak server once all is setup.
so i know Gentoo would take along long time for me to setup. but would it run fairly decent ?? also is it possible for me to do the install on my computer in my sig and then swap the hd ?
i am a true linux newb so the install would be somewhat challenging because i really know little to nuthing
so does Gentoo sound like a plan ? or would you recommend something else
i have tryed
- redhat
- mandrake
- i attempted to install SuSE - but it just would not work
- got afew knoppix live cd's (are pretty cool)
thanks !
