Hello, this might sound as if an old question put up multiple times. I am having few Old PCs with defferent Configurations for each. few having 64MB Ram and a Celeron Processor 300MHz, One having 192 MB Ram, Pentium IV 2.0 GHz, Processor, and currently running Win98 and WinXP. I want to switch over to Linux. What distribution is recommended on these PCs, where I would also be running a Office Package (Probabaly Open Office) and would also like to connect to a Novell Server. I am a Novice with respect to Linux. And also is there a way I can Configure Linux just as a 'Terminal Services'. that is can i connect multiple pcs to one linux server, with different logins. Thanks and regards Akshay

See also Knoppix terminal service. Makes thin clients boot and run off a booted cd/dvd remote machine using 2x/nomachine. The 64 meg is the issue. Normally you can run a command line only. Puppy and DSL can have work arounds for such small ram. As above see links. See also distro watch for minimal distros. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Yeah I would say Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux would be your best bet.
