[dundee] Linux for low spec PCs

[Paul Lancaster]

Hi Angie
Ive used  Vector Linux
 http://vectorlinux.com/
before on a  thinkpad 600E (233 PII) and worked well,
even better with more Ram.Although I couldnt get the wireless connection 
to work - but thats more my fault (lack of experience)
It comes in a SOHO variant, specifically for what you want.
Hope this helps

Paul
