Well for the last 2 or 3 weeks ive been lookin for another light distro for my old Panasonic CF-25 96 megs ram 4.8 gig HD the results are in:
Damn Small linux- everything works and good speed.
beatrix linux- everything works very ipressive but really slow
Feather linux-LOL hardly anything works and cannot be configured
yoper-wont boot
insert linux- wont boot
vector linux- slow and not everyting works
Archie linux-Hangs on boot
mandriva-PLease! slow as a snail
ubuntu-very impressive but again slow(beatrix is actually a mini version)
blue flops-floppy install very impressive just no support for wpc11
QNX- another impressive floppy install no NIC support
then there is knoppix everything works its super impressive but my old laptop is brought to its knees with the system.
I guess my point in all of this. DSL is a very nice diistro that pretty much configures everything but there is also help there when you need to do something. awesome community for a very nice distro!
anyone have any other distros they can think of that might best DSL? I dont think so but im willing to benchmark one on this dinosaur.........bringem on! Now obviously the big boys freebsd, slackware, suse, ubuntu they probably gonna be slow on this beast. Im lookin for mini versions to test out. I even tried blue flops on floppy. actually pretty impressive. very fast but would not configure my wireless wpc11. has tons of drivers for nics just not mine.
