[SOLVED] Need a light linux distro


Absorbator

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody!

 

I have an old i686 (Pentium 3 1GHz, 512mb RAM) and I want to turn it into server. Since the machine is really slow I want to use some minimized Operating System. I tried with Damn Small Linux, but it lacks too many things (some of which very important like gcc and make ) and I don't want to waste weeks of my life trying to configure the damn server. The PC is going to serve some sites with PPC advertisement - something like 30-40 impressions per seccond, but most of the time may be 2 to 4 times less. So I need something light (the GUI may be absent ) but still to have enough software out of the box.

 

Thanks in advance :)
