I'd guess we're looking at Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux with those specs, or maybe even xUbuntu.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 4:20 PM, Sujita Purushothaman <<a href="mailto:sujita@skhot.net">sujita@skhot.net</a>> wrote:<br>

Hoping some people here will have good suggestions. I have an old<br>
laptop that currently runs on Windows 98 ( :-) ). It has 10GB hard disk<br>
space and 128 MB RAM. Pretty old. I want to install linux on it. I<br>
wouldn't be storing much data on it, I'd still like to leave Windows on<br>
it, so I have 5GB to play with. What distros are lightweight, but have a<br>
easy to use package management system? ( I would need python (+devel)<br>
and gcc libs immediately). Thanks!<br>
