hello
i have gotten an EPIA 5000 system complete with
256mb ram
20gb fudjitsu 2.5" HDD
1U 170W (now fanless PSU)
and a usb to serial converter.
1U polished aluminium case
i didnt choose the specs i got it free so hell dont bother saying you shoul dhave bought sommit better LOL
i have installed SuSE linux 10 wich i run using black box with Ktorrent and Amarok and Firefox. those are the only programs intend to use on it with SSH and VNC.
i looked into DSL becuase suse is abit slow for such a machine howver there are a few issues i have found with DSL.
i have booted from a live cd that i attached temporarily to the machine. However when tryng to install to a 128mb flashdisk (Transcend FlashJet 128mb (also free  )) this did not work and i couldnt install it. it gave me an error when i said it was SDA. hwover a the time the flash disk was not empty. do i need to format it before ?
anyways apart frm that id like to install DSL on the hdd, but is it possible to get a torrent client, a web browser and a music player on DSL ?
i didnt try music play back but i dont like XMMS much , i prefer Juk and amarok but these do not seem to be in DSL. also i would need a torrent client, and although i do not like ktorrent much and use azureus on win2k i saw someone talk of utorrent and wonder if thats good. also i know azureus for linux exists. Is there a MyDSL apps for juk/amarok and utorrent/azureus/Ktorrent ?
also if their are appz that are better or that you people prefer than the ones i have listed and are available id be glad to hear about those.
thx for any advice
