I think your computer is a bit slow for suse- it uses KDE which can be a bit resource expensive. I would recommend Xubuntu, which uses xfce (low memory requirements). I use that on some old computers. Recognises most hardware, easy to install.

Good luck!

From what I have heard (no personal experience yet), Redhat and Ubuntu are the way to go.


I dont know what sort of luck you will have with that kind of low specs, Dormage. Sorry try using wikipedia on the various versions, to see if there is one which will be supported with that.

I would recommend PCLinuxOS. Goes on LIVE CD,and you dont need to search internet to find/install codecs/players for mp3,divx,etc...
It comes with bunch of tools,programs,and you can download any necessary file/program through Synaptic Center.

On an old computer you'll need an old version of Linux, if you want graphics. The new versions of Linux are meant for new computers.

If you just want a command line server thats great for development, I recommend Debian. Fedora is good too, if you don't mind upgrading your OS every 6 months.

CentOS would be too slow on your old box.

Place Debian on the computer and use fluxbox, takes only alittle bit of time to get the hand of if you have previous experiance with linux. Its mainly for people who wish to mainly use the shell but comes with a GUI.
