The reason I ask is because a friend wants to try out
linux on an old p3 with the following specs
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
model name : Pentium III (Katmai)
cpu MHz : 451.017
cache size : 512 KB
bogomips : 903.08
MemTotal: 510372 kB
I've run XFCE on my Thinkpad-240X for years now. Hardware in 450mHz
Celeron, 192MB ram, 12GB hard drive. The / filesystem uses 3.2GB of
space, leaving plenty of room for my own stuff.
