Quote: I only recommend Kubuntu and/or Ubuntu these days. Head and shoulders above most of the crud.
I had a feeling that might be your recommendation.
Quote: I have not tried them on a limited memory machine, though. Even our "discarded" laptops here have 512MB each (2GB in the new ones). Ubuntu should do somewhat better than Kubuntu for this, though (KDE/Kubuntu is fantastic, but yes, it's a memory hog).
Yeah, I knew that, already. I use KDE both at work, and at home. I'll take a look at it, and see what I think. I suspect I'll have to/want to move away from KDE to a more lightweight window manager.
Though, since Windows ME runs fine on it, I figure that KDE shouldn't be too terribly slow.
