I have an old Dell™ Latitude™ CP notebook computer with an Intel Pentium microprocessor at 23 MHz and 96MB RAM. I am looking for a stable Linux distro with an easy to use graphical UI. It will be used by my little sister for mainly basic word processing, and light image viewing, and maybe music and small games. It will never be able to be connected to the internet. Do you have any advice of what distribution of Linux I should get for this?
The User interface NEEDS to be easy for an unexperienced Windoes user. DSL is great (I’ve tried it), but it isn’t for novices.

I’m thinking about purchasing a notebook from DELL and their entry-level (read cheapest) model comes with 256 MB of RAM. I’d like to stay current by using the latest stuff such as CentOS 5 or Fedora 7. Am I good to go or should I get one with at least 512 MB of RAM? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how to install Ubuntu linux on my Apple iBook. Its the first gen. 300 Mhz, CD Drive, One USB. It’s currently running Mac OS 9.2.2. I have the ISO file burned on a disc, just don’t know how to install it.

is it possiblel to put linux on a pda/pocket pc. i mean to erase the os and just upload linux. is that possible.
about the os chip, what pda can be compatible with the linux os chip.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with an Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz, 384 MB of RAM, and a 28 GB hard drive. I’m interested in dumping winXP and running a linux distro, but it has to be able to run a screen resolution of 1024 x 768, run a DVD / CDR, handled the native audio, and hopefully handle power management and wireless PCMCI cards, too.

Not asking for much, eh? Well, I should also be able to put the same Distro on my Dell XPS 400 desktop, and have them communicate with one another wirelessly.

Thanks for everyone’s experience and expertise.
