Linux distro will fit on this hard drive? [partition sizes] [voodoo 3]

2011-08-02 / Operating Systems / 0 Comments

Q: Well?
I want Ubuntu and dual boot with Windows 98 to use a nice old computer. It got a P3 600MHz, 128MB RAM, 13GB hard drive (11GB left about this), and a Voodoo 3 video card. I want this principle to use for internet / email / instant messaging and things like that. So do you think this will fit? What should I partition size on? Is there any other distros that would better suite this computer? Thanks for your very kind help:)

Debian ISO – Easy to find? No – But, as with little help from the AT! [bsd] [redhat]

2011-08-01 / Operating Systems / 0 Comments

Q: From the start of each BSD and Linux distributions (with the exception of RedHat) that Ive tried, it is less than 3 clicks / steps to understand how and where to download the ISO. Which is how it should be!

Wait to choose Windows 2000 or Whistler? [graphics work] [service pack]

2011-08-01 / Operating Systems / 0 Comments

Q: Now that Win 2K is fine and stable after many-a-patch and service pack, Microsoft will soon throw another buggy OS again – Whistler. However, it looks pretty good on paper. Basically I am looking for a machine, one OS to Do It All – games, graphics, development, general use stuff. I could opt for a Win 98SE 2K/Win combo but that is not Whistler convenient.

Anybody know what pricing will be? Win 2K is very cheap now, after all incentives.
