chris:b Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yesterday in the distrowatch weekly, an article about Deli Linux: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20070521 "DeLi Linux is a Linux distribution for old computers, from 486 to Pentium MMX 166 or so. It's focused on desktop usage. It includes email clients, a graphical Web browser, an office package with word processor and spreadsheet, etc. A full install, including XFree86 and development tools, needs no more than 300 MB of harddisk space." Has anyone tried it? Would love to read more about it. Unfortunately I don't have such old hardware, and not enough time to play with it.

arctic Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'd love to try it but I have given my old hardware to a recycling center when I move to a new home. It seems to be a very interesting distro however as I have heard only good things about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 The oldest HW I have handy right now is an Olivetti NB with PIII/700 and 128M RAM. It sounds OK, but it's a very poor performer- it could load Win2K with great difficulty. I could try deli on it, but its CD-ROM drive is not reading properly any CDR with "modern" dye types...
