Hi,
I've got an old Panasonic Toughbook and I'm thinking of loading it with Linux
to make it my future workhorse. It's a little slow for XP, and only has 128MB
of ram and a 300MZ (I think?) processor. I'm hoping a Linux install might
allow state of the art functionality without hogging resources. I could upgrade
to 256MB of ram if required, but that's the max the machine will take.
Anybody have a recommendation as to a good Linux distro to use? I've heard
a lot of talk about both Debian and Unbuntu. Anybody know which of these
might be most likely to be my friend?
Cheers,
Kim.
