I recommend you to use some lighter distro such as zenwalk, vector, puppy linux, grafpup, pcfluxboxOS, damn small linux, deLi, slitaz, etc

Ubuntu is way to heavy for that... I guess you have discovered it already.

yah i tried a few of them but just didnt put it in video * damn small linux, puppy linux and a few others i forget the names to.*

I have the same problem with PII and Pcchips M748Lmrt.. the problem maybe is the videocard

You should try Xubuntu not Ubuntu. Xubuntu is especially designed for older machines.

[TheSqeeek]

FreeBSD would work.

Or you could try the Netbook addition... my guess is you'll have to put more memory in it to run Ubuntu on that, though.

lol

[MrTabby5000]

yes go back to windows.ASAP.

I have try Xubuntu on Pentium 2, Debian on Pentium 3.

ive got a pentium 2 that runs ubuntu. 400MHz and 32mb of ram. i was only 10 at the time i installed it, and i kindof forgot to check system requirements... but now im 12. hehe, my parents still use it because their other one mysteriously broke...
