[SWLUG] Just a thought - [well.. two thoughts actually]

[Ace Ironballs]

Hi everyone
   
  I wonder if anybody could recommend a simple linux OS. The reason i ask is.. I installed Ubuntu 6 on my old computer and I don't think my computer is up to the job of running this OS.. I then tried puppy linux and had a really quick and responsive [and impressive] linux OS on disc - The picture was stable and the response to commands very quick - I know puppy only uses RAM and is very basic. I just wondered if any of you could recommend a not too demanding Linux OS that would breathe new life into my old 8 Gb computer. I have been buying random Linux OS off ebay and i don't seem to be getting anywhere very fast - So i thought i'd consult you guys before i buy another.
  Also i would be very grateful if any of you guys could recommend a modem router that is easy for using a Linux OS - [cheaper the better]
   
  I'd really appreciate a shove in the right direction - Many thanks
   
  Mark
