[dundee] Linux for low spec PCs

[Stewart Finlayson]

Hi Angie,
                You might want to look at Xubuntu for sheer ease of use.  You can run it from a CD to try it out.  The Ubuntu community is big and very supportive of newbies (like me).  It just works and it looks like it's here to stay and stay free.

Good luck with your project!

Cheers,

Stewart

Subject: [dundee] Linux for low spec PCs

Hi,
   Just wondering if anyone could recommend a Linux distro. for low  
spec refurbished laptops - a sample spec would be:

IBM Thinkpad - Intel P2 300 128MB 3GB.

The background is we're looking to get refurbished laptops for £100ish  
and set them up for low income families who are doing their ECDL to  
borrow - other than Internet access all we need to run on them is  
OpenOffice.org.
Ideally we'd like to be able to create accounts so they can't delete  
things they shouldn't.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards

  - Angie
