<p>Hi.</p>
<p>I'm no expert but I would recommend CrunchBang.</p>
<p>Older hardware, wireless out of the box, debian base.</p>
<p>The only thing is openbox can be a slight shock if you're used to normal desktop environments. But it helps to make #! Fast.</p>
<p>Try the live cd.</p>

Hi folks.<br><br>I'm thinking of installing a linux distro on an old Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop (with expanded ram). This had the Broadcom B43 chipset for the wifi which I understand can be tricky with some flavours of linux.<br>
<br>So my question: Which is the better option Ubuntu (i'm told version 11 is not great but the version 10 LTS is fine) or Debian? Or is there a better option out there I'm not aware of?<br><br>Thanks<br clear="all">
