So far Mandrake Has been the best to me over all other distros, including Gentoo and Redhat. I use Slackware as a router because I don't need all the spiffy options using my non-existant ram. Even disabling services wouldn't matter, as I lost my copies of MDk 8.0 and 9.2 probably wouldn't install with that amount of ram. That router has significant uptime and I don't want to disturb it =p. This discussion is interesting because of the vastly different types of pcs and what they have all running Mandrake without a hitch.

Well, here goes:

AMD Athlon XP2400+ 2.0GHz

Standard RAM 512MB, 333Mhz

Nvidia nForce2 with Geforce4 MX

Laptop I use for work:

 

Compaq Armada 7330

P166

80 meg

2 Gb hd

Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA wireless

ESS audio - not functional :wall:

S3 Aurora64V+ video at 800x600

 

I use this system for wireless coverage surveys and security testing.

Also use Open Office quite extensively on this system for reports, graphs, drawings, etc. to give to clients.

 

The system is also used as a general network workstation when I am in the office for email, word processing, etc.

 

It's a little slow but much better and more stable than with Windoze on the same system.

Mandrake 10ce - I have got it to run on :

 

AMD Duron 1Ghz, (256Mb RAM), EPSON C40SX - no issues at all.

 

Intel Celeron (256Mb RAM) - had issues with the USB printer, an HP PSC 1210 - but that was not an issue with the printer nor the machine but rather with kernel 2.6.3.

 

IBM T20 (700GHz) - I haven't checked out the Winmodem, but I suspect it doesn't work (as always). I have an unresolved issue with Wireless networking - I have a Netgear MA401 PCMICA wireless LAN adaptor & I can't figure out if the problem is PCMCIA or Wireless in general. I have had this working just once - when I inserted the PCMCIA card during the boot sequence.

OEM machine. Got it in a shops 'limited-time offer', but I got lucky, cause I am very satisfied! All my hardware works, be it under Windows or Linux, and it is able to handle all the things I want to do! (only thing I'd improve is 512MB RAM instead of 256).

256MB DDR RAM

Maxtor 80GB Hard disk
