You want at least 128mb of ram to run any linux without frustration using a minimalistic window manager and few other applications(firefox,etc.).
|
This is my best guess so don't put your life on it, but I'd say at least 64MB of RAM and depending on what apps you run, a PII processor. Firefox and OO.o will load slowly on 64 so try running Abiword and Opera/Dillo.
I've never used Zenwalk but if you need to look for apps that run on old machines, see what Damn Small Linux runs (with the exception of Firefox). Post your system specs so we can get a better picture. |

PIII 567mhz 128bm ram 10gb hd standard install xfce ect runs well bigger apps take while to start up. Firefox 4-5 sec but runs well when up. I have installed Sylpheed as my mail app and dillo for speed but as long as you dont have to many apps running its a very usable mc. mc2 AMD k6 300mhz 256mb ram 3gb hd As above just slower ok for web and email writing xchat etc but the gimp, inkscape, are to slow for me. As a side note I bought these mc's (3 old pc's with monitors and printers £12) to start learning the command line and have to say for a noob with an old pc the Zenwalk install was very easy. I come from the mac side so these are my first i386 mc's and the hardest part of the install was figuring out how to start the cd!. I have to say I've been impressed with Zenwalk on my old pc's. |
