Q. I have a Compaq Deskpro EP/SB with Pentium II 333MHz processor (256MB RAM). I need a lightweight Linux operating system that is fast and reliable. I have tired Peppermint OS but it is too slow on this computer. I don't like Puppy Linux, nor Macpup. I need something different.
Thanks :)
Thanks :)
A. Hi
With your processor and amount of ram you have to go with a puppy derivative. Puplets

DSL (Dam small Linux)

Tinycore.
Tinycore requires alot of work.

Bodhi Linux

Gentoo Linux

Lubuntu.

Look on distrowatch and do a search for small linux distros.
To be frank puppy has the best support of all the medium Linux distros via the murga forums.

you wont get a snazzy desktop to run with those computer specs.

What linux distribution do you recommend?
Q. If you want to learn how to adminster Linux systems properly, not simply for use as a Windows replacement?
A. This are the most common distros. I DON'T RECOMMEND ANY OF THIS to learning linux at sysadmin level:
Red hat (or centos or fedora)
Ubuntu (or Mint)
Suse
All those distros are designed to be user friendly and easy.
You need a distro that keeps configuration plain and simple, instead of trying to hide it with a nice gui.
I RECOMMEND YOU:
Arch Linux
Gentoo
linux from scratch
I have used archlinux myself, and I can tell you is really easy to learn AND does not hide any of its configuration using guis.
Archlinux has a GREAT wiki, so, even if you are going to configure all by yourself, you'll have great step-by-step guides.
I don't recommend you archbang or sabayon, since they hide their configuration, and its not what you want (You want to learn!)
And that's it. I'll leave you with this from the arch linux wiki:
Whereas many GNU/Linux distributions attempt to be more user-friendly, Arch Linux has always been, and shall always remain user-centric.
Arch Linux targets and accommodates competent GNU/Linux users by giving them complete control and responsibility over the system.
Arch Linux users fully manage the system on their own. The system itself will offer little assistance, except for a simple set of maintenance tools that are designed to perfectly relay the user's commands to the system. Arch developers do not expend energy re-inventing GUI system tools; Arch is founded upon sensible design and excellent documentation.
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and share the results with the community and development team â a "do first, then ask" philosophy. This is especially true for user-contributed packages found in the Arch User Repository â the official Arch Linux repository for community-maintained packages.

What are the requirements to distribute a linux live iso?
Q. I want to create a custom linux iso with a few of my personally developed applications and distribute it online. I know Linux is open source, but does this mean I can legally sell the ISO? Are some distros better suited for this than others?
A. Some distros are better suited. Some already have live-cd systems prebuilt, you simply add applications. Ubuntu, Slax, and Gentoo are common live distros.
You can sell the ISO, as long as you don't violate any licenses. Most licenses are GPLs, Creative Commons, or BSDs. You have to comply with the terms of each license, including distribution and availability of source code.
