Any thoughts on ALUG 5!
The beginning of December was mentioned at the last one.
Anybody volunteer hosting Laurie? Anybody?

Hello, I've been lurking for a few months now, and I've seen references to various distributions. Unfortunately I haven't been brave enough to try and run two OS's on my main machine as I use it for work. I have got sitting in the loft an old 386 machine that is gathering dust. it has a tiny (read 120mb) HD and and insignificant amount of ram (8mb) but I was wondering if there is a floppy distribution that might fit. Initially I really only want to learn the basics, once I am confident I can break and fix it again then I'll see about setting it up on my main machine. Any advice one way or the other would be appreciated. Thank you Al

If you don't mind outdated software, a good way to learn would be to try to install a small linux distribution which includes X on the system. Compiling your own software on them can be a bit of an uphill, as you need to go out and get the compilers first. It can be done, but let's leave that discussion for later.
For starters, look at: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Mini_Distributions/ muLinux and DragonLinux are old favourites. I think Dragon may have outgrown what you wanted it for, though.
