Fedora and Mandrake worked well for me and were reasonably user friendly. I've heard lots of good things about Ubuntu and would definitely choose it for myself next. If it's a <I>very</I> old computer, consider Vector Linux.<BR/><BR/>Here are some useful web sites for all your questions:<BR/>http://www.linuxquestions.org/<BR/>http://www.tldp.org/Darren Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186653520767141027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065218.post-1136396785221744812006-01-04T12:46:00.000-05:002006-01-04T12:46:00.000-05:00I have an old Compaq P133 laptop that work was tra...I have an old Compaq P133 laptop that work was trashing. I installed VectorLinux which is based on the Slackware core. It installed all the drivers and everything works. Go to <A HREF="http://www.linux.org/dist/" REL="nofollow">www.linux.org/dist</A> to download just about any distribution you want. <A HREF="http://distrowatch.com/" REL="nofollow">distrowatch.com</A> also has alot of different distributions. You can get Live-CD versions of different installs to try them out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065218.post-1136393758603601552006-01-04T11:55:00.000-05:002006-01-04T11:55:00.000-05:00If you have a solid broadband connection, I'd use ...If you have a solid broadband connection, I'd use Ubuntu. If you don't, I'd try Fedora.<BR/><BR/>http://ubuntu.com/<BR/>http://fedora.redhat.com/<BR/><BR/>Ubuntu is only 1 CD, then it gets whatever it needs from the internet. Fedora is 4 CDs, but you get everything you need on them.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ is the place to ask for help with Ubuntu.<BR/><BR/>http://www.fedoraforum.org/ is the place for Fedora help.<BR/><BR/>I use both everyday, so I can prolly help out if you have problems.

I use, and like Mandriva (was Mandrake) for ease of installation. See http://wwwnew.mandriva.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
