Hi
I am after some advice. I haven't posed a message to the list as I was waiting for a newer laptop.
I now have a Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT with 128MB of RAM, it is a Pentium Celeron 300Mhz.
What is the best way to go with Linux. I don't want to use DSL as I would like something a little higher spec. I like Ubuntu but I think it will run a little slow on this machine.
I would like to dual boot it with Windows 2000 which is already installed so what do I need to do.

I've just installed xubuntu on a laptop and it seems really funky, like ubuntu but with xfce, although the laptop ran gnome fine, so i'm not sure how resource hungry xfce has become.... might be worth a try though if you like ubuntu.

You could try Zenwalk. It is based on Slackware but has better hardware detection and uses the lean, mean but fast xfce window manager. Find it at zenwalk.org

I'll second that. Zenwalk is really good.
Cheers, Laurie.
