Damn..it's pretty nice to a 50 MB operating system..

DSL is quite good for old machines, if you have a new one use a better ditro, but is some country´s people dont often have a high end machine, so when they need to use Linux (Ex Ubuntu) they found it too overweight for his machine.

@Gispero

it should run suse linux 9 when used not to extensively hard to find now a days sadly :(

[cobrafazea]

you can use PCLinuxOS ( LXDE version for better performance ) but i think you can use the miniKDE version as well .

or you can use LinuxMint FluxBox version .......

As in general any fluxbox , LXDE versions should work pretty well .

I have a Compaq Armada 110, 850MHz CPU and 128MB, graphics card uses 8MB. It works well with Windows 2000, what Linux distro would you recommend for this laptop, I want to use it for word processing and web surfing.

What did you use to record your screen? I have Suse 11.0 What do you recommend?

Actually there are sites that sell games only for linux like linux game publishing and tux games the games are just as good as windows games

[ForrestMims3]

with DS linux it is in a different format and is based off different code. any other distributation of linux WONT work on the DS because it is not coded for the DS.

Wine is still under contruction and doesnt play big games like that (YET) but it will run most software and small games with very slow speed. Wine = wine is not an Emulator

[AppleMac55]

One might say no, but you could use an application like wine to run windows applications and games like Halo. I know some people who use Wine to run iTunes inside a linux installation.

I've tried DSL. It's impressively small, but too limited to be useful to me, really.

It's great for some purposes, though.
